  2. Hello, Can you add this goodnotes 4 function into goodnotes 5? I think it is faster than tapping on each folder to open them since I have so many subfolders. May be you could make it an optional function.
    Best regard.

  3. I used "Email to GoodNotes". It is a good feature but the mail address is hard to remember so I tried to forward any email that I send from my email to my email in Gmail with title "GoodNotes" but google told me that I must enter "Confirmation code" that they sent to my email in GoodNotes.

    There is no way to see the "Confirmation code" now, so I cannot activate this feature.

    To solve this problem, I suggest one of these ideas:
    1- Convert any message to PDF
    2- Resend any message to my email

  5. When trying to copy$paste texts from something like a webpage to goodnotes, I don’t want keyboard to show up soon because I can’t change the width or the location of pasted texts because it is sometimes hidden by the keyboard.

    I also wonder why I can't change the height of the textbox and also can't delete a whole textbox. Are these things possible on goodnotes 5?

  6. Hi, Goodnotes is my most favorite application. But one thing that you can improve to make GoodNotes better application is “make it can choose many pictures and make an order of those pictures when user want to makes a new file from many pictures “ when found this needs when I have to sent my homeworks from home during this virus crisis.

  7. hello it would be great if the new colors added by a user do not reset with each update, because it is very tedious to go and enter all the new colors again.

  9. It would be great to have the option to be able to continue scrolling downward endlessly while writing, instead of having to add a new page constantly.

  10. “Open documents as new tabs” option is a great tool but i would preferred that instead of all documents being open as new tabs only documents or notes or pages within a Currently open document would open as new tabs so you could toggle within that folder faster while looking at folders within folders. The way it is now it’s a bit cluttered and confusing because you get confused and don’t know where those tabs belong in just by looking at the titles if that makes any sense, thank you.

  11. 将搜索内容的功能加入正在阅读的pdf文件(在红圈标记的地方加入搜索功能)。而不是统一在所有文件中搜索想要搜索的内容
    adding search function in a particular document (adding it in the regions marked by red circle in the picture.) , rather than just search content in all of the documents.

  15. I would have Intelligent Inserting Options:
    - Inserting something you copied from above I wish to be able to align the Thing I copied from above with those things. To be able to achieve that I would show up a dotted line downward or if I insert it right to the copied one to have a dotted light horizontally to align all the things. Optional the dotted line is "magnetic" so it pull the thing you want to insert to the dotted reference line, but if you pull it away the reference line disappears

  16. Currently, in MacOS, you can only select an element if you are on the appropriate tool. Meaning you have to change tools to select an element.

    IpadOS is better a long press gives you the option to zoom or edit - the zoom option seems a little redundant when it's easy to press the zoom button and drag the box. I feel it would be better if it just defaulted to "edit". Maybe this could be a preference option if there are people who use the zoom box a lot.
