  1. Sometimes I want to jot notes , but there isn’t enough empty space. Memo is nice but I dont want the memo to cover up the words in my document. Someone suggest expandable memo but then it may be easily missed when rereading the document.
    I suggest a feature where we can add memo at the side of the pdf (outside of margin), function is similar to expandable page but more aesthetic. and it can be chosen to show or dismiss with something like a sidebar option. When dismissed, just the original pdf will be shown. When the option is…

  3. In the Lasso tool and in the Erase tool, it would be great if it could separate what is written with a pen and what is written with highlights. if I have a note that is highlighted but I need to edit the text, I can’t erase what I wrote because, it would erase the highlighter also. The same happens when I use the lasso tool. If the handwriting is selected, it will move both the highlighter and the pen text. And sometimes I just want to move the text only.

    If there is a separate tool for something, it…

  4. Enable the ‚Tape‘ tool for study sets as well. It is super helpful but can currently not be used in practice mode, the option to make the tape transparent does not work there.

  5. This feature would allow you to create a space between handwriting and images that have been placed on a page, allowing you to add more information.
    For example, let's say you have a numbered list:
    1. Add eggs
    2. Bake
    And perhaps you want to add something in between number one and two on the list, instead of having to erase number 2 or lasso it and move it down, imagine if one could simply tap between the two and push it down, similar to a feature that exists in onenote. This would make rapid edits and changes to a…

  7. Please (re-) add the functionality of being able to specify the "Zoom Window Return Height" to custom templates into Goodnotes 6.

    It was there in GN5 (https://support.goodnotes.com/hc/en-us/articles/201565249-Adjusting-Zoom-window-return-height-for-a-template) but missing from GN6

  8. 建議:可唔可以固力打字/寫字/圖片範圍唔移動(寫字同埋翻頁果陣會郁黎郁去)。
    同埋想要自動每行加列點(如果我需要果陣)。

  9. The ruler is great, but it snaps to zero if I try my mnully set it to a small angle. I have a pdf that is scanned to a slight angle, so I want to tweak the ruler to just a few degrees (less than 5)

    I know I can manually pick a specific number, but I don’t know the number. I just know if I tweak it just so…it lines up with the pdf lines. But then it snaps back to zero

    Just let me turn off snap to zero.

  10. It is difficult to write in corners of a page while resting your hand on the screen. The ability to rearrange the page to a position where the corner of the page is near the center of the screen would improve user accessibility and comfort while writing.

  14. The page preview thumbnails are so small you can't really make out details, and the size of the thumbnails or the sidebar can't be customized. That makes it hard enough to navigate a notebook if you don't have an outline structure in place as it is, then then changing pages when you're in a zoomed in view kicks you over to the selected page at the center of the destination page.

    It gets annoying having to manually scroll up to verify the page title each time you move throughout the contents of a notebook.

  15. I'm using Goodnotes on M1MacBookAir. I often copy and paste images but sometimes pasted images are converted original first pasting form. I would like you to fix this condition, in which edited images form will be saved permanently.

  16. Hey there,

    we use GOODNOTES at our school on a daily basis and I think it would be a great idea to manage the import of documents like PDFs. For example: if I want to open a PDF in OneDrive and share it in order to open it into another App like Goodnotes, I can only choose to import it into the current document or open a new document. It would be a great idea to be able to choose the document and maybe have it saved to multiple documents at the same time.

    Kind regards

  17. When scanning, each scanned document is converted to the US Letter format. This means an originally A4-sized sheet is shrunk and gains borders. This is problematic because I am a geometry teacher, and when a student draws a line of, for example, 7 cm on their A4 sheet, the internal Goodnotes ruler only reads 6.3 cm. This is inconvenient. I would like to be able to set the format to A4 during scanning so that all real lengths can be accurately measured by the Goodnotes ruler.

  18. Hi Goodnotes Team,

    As an architect, I take a lot of measurements on construction sites with GoodNotes and my iPad.
    I take a lot of photos for the measurements, which I then label with GoodNotes.
    Unfortunately, I have to reset the desired camera settings for each photo, e.g. flash on or zoom setting of the camera.
    It would be nice if there was an option to save the last camera settings.
    Greetings Tobi

  20. Dear GoodNotes Team,

    Hello, my name is Tami, and I have been using GoodNotes since its initial release. I believe you must have tried the app CollaNote at some point.

    Today, I have a request. In the CollaNote app, when you write, it automatically adjusts the shape of the letters to keep them from looking uneven, almost like a magnetic effect. As a left-handed person with tremors, I often struggle with keeping my writing neat.

    I would greatly appreciate it if GoodNotes could add a similar feature that automatically adjusts the shape of letters in your next update. This feature…
