Smoother typing experience please!
Text tool feels clunky compared to Google Docs
Issue: Copy/paste, selecting text, and typing across pages doesn’t feel smooth or reliable.
Why it’s annoying: The friction breaks flow and makes typed notes feel like a worse experience than handwriting.
Request: Improve the text tool to behave more like Google Docs:Auto-add pages as text grows (no manual page management)
Smoother transitions across pages when selecting/typing/erasing
More reliable copy/paste behavior

Permanent tab bar
When I have a document open, the tab bar shows a tab for each open document. Also, the Home tab appears on the left in the tab bar. When I click on it, the tab bar with the open documents disappears. To get back to the open documents, I then have to open a document again.
It would be easier if in the Home view (a) the tab bar remained permanently at the top (so that the Home view is just another tab), or (b) there was a shortcut called “Open documents” on the left.

Download only the document you want
It would be nice if I could download only the documents I wanted. I have a small iPad mini capacity, but downloading all the documents makes the capacity so much that I can't even update the iPad os.

Improve textbox toolbar - remove floating toolbar
When using a text box the toolbar will drop down to the text box instead of staying by the stationary/fixed toolbar, which results in the toolbar covering the textbox, sometimes not showing up, and sometimes I must manually close the keyboard (I don’t have a separate keyboard for my IPad so I type on the screen) to access the toolbar options. In the next update please let the textbox tools stay at the stationary toolbar, and add the previous textbox menu (with only some choices such as delete and copy/cut/paste etc.) to end corner of the textbox. And when marking…

Grading Instructor-uploading
I think it is critical that an instructor upload version be provided for grading important paper exams. The instructor would upload a PDF with batches of exams. Based upon a template, the batched PDF would be split into submissions. Then each submission would be sorted to the appropriate students and go through the grading process.
This would be useful in cases where students don't have easy access to iPads/styli. Or, where teachers are giving paper exams and don't want students to handle the submission process.

Sim links in file explorer
Have the ability to create simlinks to documents in other folders. Due to the number of folder I have, I occasionally want to have access to note in two separate folders. The only way to do this now is to make a copy which takes up double the space and doesn’t sync any hand written notes on the page.

Menu orders keep changing
With the newest updates to Goodnotes, the order of menu items keeps changing. Sometimes, Copy is at the top of the menu, sometimes it is at the bottom of the menu. It appears this is called “Dynamic/context-sensitive menus” and it is terrible. You now have to read the entire menu every time to figure out where Copy is located within the menu because the location of Copy within the menu keeps changing. Simple Copy and Paste now takes so much longer. Please either bring back the fixed menu or allow us to toggle the dynamic/context-sensitive menu OFF.

fix inability to add centering of text to default setting
Align left and align right are options for default formating in the text tool. But select center and the default option grays out. This is infuriating and needs to be fixed.

Stop changing the UI
As a Goodnotes user for the past 10 years: please stop changing the UI. I know the business and product teams probably feel pressure to keeping adding more stuff to get more users and growth whatever, but you are alienating your hardcore power users that have been recommending this product for 10 years.
UX Designers: the existing toolbar was great. stop refactoring stuff just because you built a new thing and don't know where to shove it.
Product Managers: Just make a really solid note taking app. Stop trying to add more stuff in the same app. Whiteboarding should be…

pen & highlighter straight line changing point
In the newer versions, the blue changing points for drawing straight lines are very big. If you zoom in, it becomes impossible to be exact.

Automatically Remove Deleted GoodNotes Files from Cloud Backup
When using cloud backup (e.g., Google Drive) in GoodNotes, it would be very helpful if deleting files or folders within GoodNotes also synchronized the deletion in the cloud drive.
Currently, even after files are deleted in GoodNotes, residual files remain in Google Drive, requiring users to manually delete them separately. This creates unnecessary inconvenience and extra management work.
Please consider adding two-way deletion synchronization between GoodNotes and cloud backup services.

Dashed, Dotted line for pencils
It could be better if we can be able to select dotted line and dashed line for pencil tool, as the pen tools can.

Ruler rotation shortcut (e.g, double tapping)
Rulers shortcut that can rotate 90 degrees,
When I'm drawing graphs, I have to manually rotate the rulers from 0 degree to 90 degree.
I think it is better if we have shortcut (something like double tapping the ruler) and it rotate clockwise to 90 degrees (or customizable rotation)

BRING BACK THE “AUTO STRAIGHTEN TEXT” OPTION
Since the last update you have modified the edit mode and deleted the auto-straighten button! It was probably the most useful button in the entire app and now it’s gone. Instead of trying to develop useless ai features, focuson the basic functionality of the app first! (I’ll putpictures of the old and new edit mode)

Add backspace button in text box
It would be very helpful if there was a dedicated backspace button (similar to the enter button to start a new line) for the text box. When I’m writing and converting to text it would be easier to be able to backspace and delete certain letters or words or remove a line or indent I made by having a backspace button like when typing on a traditional keyboard.

Infinite Board | Add real black colour and the Zoom Box
- You only offer 3 colours, and the colour you call black isn’t black at all—it’s some sort of dark gray-ish. We need real black colour or the usual colour palette one has in the normal note mode [no infinite board]
- Also, why there’s no zoom box in the infinite board mode? Please add it there, too.

Pencil tilt
While using my Apple Pencil and writing with the pencil feature in goodnotes, if I tilt my pencil, the writing gets thicker as if I were tilting a blunt pencil. This is inconvenient as I tend to hold my pencil to the side and the feature makes my notes messy.
I would like an option to disable this feature so that no matter how I hold my pencil, the thickness will stay consistent.

Have more flexibility with the text box
I love using scribble to have my notes written in a different font but I wish we could have as much flexibility with the lasso tool as we do with normal hand writing. For example sometimes to I do my math homework on there and I want to move some of the variables down or move only one word from the sentence but when using the lasso tool with text box the whole text box moves even when I only circle one part.

In Goodnotes 5, I could disable image text selection in app setting, but this
In Goodnotes 5, I could disable image and text selection in app settings, but this feature is gone in Goodnotes 6. Was this international? It’s very inconvenient because objects are clicked by mistake while writing. Please bring back those toggle settings.
