Rotate draw and hold/more nuanced lasso tool
Hi GoodNotes team,
I use GoodNotes heavily for planning and note-taking, and I’ve noticed a frustrating inconsistency with shapes.
When I draw an oval using the Pen tool with “draw & hold” (auto-shape), it sometimes snaps into place at an angle. However, when I select it, there’s no rotate handle or rotate option—so I can’t straighten it without deleting and redrawing.
In contrast, an oval created with the Shape tool does include a rotate handle. This results in two shapes that look identical but behave very differently, which can be confusing during fast daily use.

Automatic Handwriting enhancement / Erase and Tags
Hello,
Would it be possible to add an automatic handwriting enhancement feature, similar to the one offered by Apple Note?
And also to be able to erase by long-pressing with the Apple Pencil, like in Notability, for example.
These two features would be a fantastic addition to Goodnotes!
Another thing: a tag system for finding files more efficiently.
Thank you in advance to the Goodnotes development team if they read this message.
Have a good day!2 votes -
pdf
It would be great if PDF files could be imported without becoming a separate page, but rather so that they appear on the interface similar to notes and can be resized.
For example, you could insert additional PDFs into a school script that provide further information on the topic and can be stored there.
This way, the PDFs can be minimised for storage and then enlarged for reading.2 votes -
LOCKING ITEMS IS A START, BUT... NEEDS IMPROVEMENT!
Recently, a "lock object" feature was introduced which is AMAZING, thank you. However, as others have noted, sometimes a whole page is an image (say a form that you're filling out, working with other little images or handwriting on top of it). We're all doing it, I'm sure you don't need a picture. It's great that I can lock the base layer, but still EVEN IF I've already sent it to the back, if I select it, it visually brings it front and now I can't see the objects on top. This defeats most of the benefit of having it…

UI Fixes on iPad
Hello GoodNotes Team,
I’m writing to share some UX feedback based on frequent, everyday use of GoodNotes on iPad. All of the points below stem from a common issue: tool discoverability and predictability, especially for power users who rely on muscle memory.
- Inconsistent context menu ordering When selecting content, the context menu (Copy, Paste, Duplicate, etc.) changes order depending on context. For example, “Copy” sometimes appears near the top and other times much lower in the list. Because these are high-frequency actions, the inconsistency makes the interface feel unpredictable and slows down routine workflows.
A fixed order—or ideally user-configurable ordering—would…

Auto-deselect for lasso tool
Auto-switch back to previous tool after using the lasso.
For example, after I move an object, it automatically switches back to the pen tool.

Math font size
I want to be able to change the size of the math equations, to set a default size so when it’s converted, it goes down to that size.

Adding new node or handle to existing shape
When drawing shapes goodnotes creates nodes or handles to allow you to adjust the shape, however you cannot then add a new node/handle to the shape.
For example, if I draw a triangle, and then want to change it to a 4 sided shape, I have to delete the shape and redraw.
When drawing complex shapes, this is time consuming and frustrating.
Please can you add the option to add new nodes (or handles) to existing shapes?2 votes -
Edit font size for written and drawn things
We should be able to edit the size of written text and drawn shapes that have already been created. I don’t mean like how it is now. That’s great too. But, for example, after adding a shape, you can adjust the width. We would like that for everything drawn, that’d be great. I have adhd and i like to make things extra pop by making some words thicker than the rest and i used the change in text size for organization. Well… I often get locked in and forget to change the pen size. Ultimately forcing me to erase and…

Eraser and writing aids
The eraser tool works but can get glitchy because when you erase it disappears but then it reappears! It should just erase in one go. Then, there are the writing aids that pop up in the bottom. When you click hide, more just keep coming and you can’t focus

Pin handwriting/drawing
I love that the text tool can now be pinned and it doesn't rest every time!!! however what is very annoying is when you are annotating your text notes and the palm of your hand triggers the text you are drawing on. By having a pin text button this could mean annotating text without triggering the text box

Search tool in text documents
At the moment there is no search tool in text documents. I don’t understand this decision at all. Being able to search within a text document is absolutely crucial.

Sticky Note pop-up gets cut off near page margins on iPad
On iPad, when I place a Sticky Note near the page margin, the pop-up opens partially cut off/off-screen and it’s inconvenient to use. It would be helpful if the pop-up could extend beyond the page edges or automatically reposition, so it always stays fully visible.
I’m attaching a few screenshots:
(1) note placed near the margin (highlighted)
(2) pop-up being cut off/off-screen
(3) example with the note closer to the center where the pop-up is fully visible

[Eraser] Eraser types buttons instead of a dropdown
Now that the eraser is its own section in the toolbar, getting rid of the slow type selection dropdown would be a good next step, as the bar definitely has the space for it
I change between precision and stroke quite frequently and it is a process that could be that little bit faster and more convenient than it is right now

Text document
・I want to be able to lay out images more freely in text documents. For example, if you reduce the size, you can arrange photos next to it.
・I want to insert a saved video on my device instead of a link.
・I find it convenient to be able to preview links on both text documents and whiteboards.
・I would like the image to be compatible with Live Photos.

Adjust a drawn line
When you want to adjust the lenght of a Drawn line, a large Blue dot appears. This makes it impossible to Drag the line to the exakt Position you want. A magnifying Glass or a very small dot would be much more helpful here.

Tip Sharpness, Pressure Sensitivity, and Tip Flatness Options to the Highlighter
I would like to request the addition of tip sharpness, pressure sensitivity, and tip flatness options to the highlighter tool.
With these features, the shape of the highlighter stroke could change depending on the tilt of the pen tip, and setting the tip flatness to 100% could produce a more angular, chisel-like highlighter shape rather than a rounded one.
These controls are essential for achieving more precise, realistic, and professional highlighting behavior, and they would significantly enhance the flexibility and usability of the highlighter tool.

Central task list on user workstation for all ‘selected’ workbooks
I sometimes work with several workbooks in parallel, for example, several projects. I maintain one workbook per project.
It would be great if there were a task function (task type, task, task description, responsible person, deadline, status, task category, relevance indicator in the central task register) that would converge centrally on a user workstation, regardless of which workbook it is in. This would make work much easier. It would allow to-dos recorded in meetings to be managed more effectively without losing track of the big picture.
If it were also possible to synchronise by task type (calendar entry, task entry)…
