  1. Long tap > “open link” can be a bit cumbersome whe navigating through a document. It would be smoother if you could double or triple tap to click a link. Additionally, if you need to jump between two pages quickly, it would be a lot smoother if you could then jump back to the previous page. For example, going from a to-do list with individual items, following a link to a sub task page for each item, then following a link to a notes page, then ax t the original to-do list.

  2. Subject: Feature Request – Option to Lock a Default Template in “Add Page” Menu

    Dear GoodNotes Team,

    I’m a regular user of GoodNotes 6 and truly appreciate the powerful tools the app provides for organizing and annotating my study material. However, I wanted to suggest an improvement that could greatly enhance the user experience:

    📌 Feature Request: Set a Permanent Default Template for “Add Page”

    Currently, when I add a new page within a notebook, the app shows Recent Templates and inherits the current page’s attributes. While this is helpful in some cases, it becomes frustrating when working in imported…

  4. Non-editable time stamps are critical because they ensure the integrity and accuracy of notes, while providing a reliable and tamper-proof log of when actions or events occurred.

    This is essential for maintaining trust, accountability, and legal compliance in various systems and processes. Many of my personal notes can and have been used for this type of documentation.

    With paper notes, you can definitely tell if one note is older than another if you constantly use the same notebook.

    With electronic notes, there is no way to determine if what was written was done that morning or 4 years ago.

  5. I often need to export my comments as PDFs for my workflow and records. Currently, I could not find a direct option to export comments in PDF format. I believe adding this feature would significantly improve user experience, as it is a simple yet powerful addition for documentation and sharing purposes.

    Could you please let me know if this feature is on your development roadmap, or if there is an alternative way to export comments as PDF for now?

    Thank you very much for your continuous support and improvement of the platform.

  6. What I need:
    • A blank “integrated notebook” shell we can start with
    • The ability to import my own PDF page or planner template
    • Fully working jump-links — which I already handle myself
    • Access to your under-the-hood integrations: date logic, calendar hookups, auto-navigation, to-dos, etc.
    • No fluff—no dated layouts, stickers, or templated design—just raw power and flexibility.

  7. In structures, you can choose wheter you want to see the PDF-structuring.
    Please save this decision, so you dont have to select it every time you open the document and want to look into your own structuring.
    (It is very annoying, please fix that)

  8. I want to be able to quickly take screenshots of portions of my lecture slides, copy them, and paste them elsewhere. Currently, the screenshot function takes 4 clicks: Lasso->screenshot->share->copy. It would be a lot easier if there was a way to Lasso a portion of the slide I want copied, and in one click copy ALL the contents of the lasso -- INCLUDING the slide itself, NOT JUST DRAWINGS/IMAGES/ETC.

  9. Currently, you have to use the lasso tool to highlight handwritten text, then click convert, then several more prompts. In Nebo, you merely have to double click. A quicker option (such as a double click) would make the process quicker and simpler (can retain current process).

  10. Instead of having a limited number of colors on the color pallet and having to scroll to see all the colors.
    Have an option to only show top 5 colors with a drop down arrow beside it to see all other colors in our color pallet. That way, we can still see and have easy/ fast access to our stroke settings , as well as our pens colors instead of having to scroll back and forth.
    Just like how the hidden tools arrow is. A drop down like that for the color pallet

  12. One thing I would love to see, since text documents are now way better than before, is a better support for academic papers. It at least looks like it doesn't support a table of contents, sources and a few more. Microsoft Office is now no longer free here in Germany for new and old students due to the government's decision to no longer use Office and I believe this is now I big opportunity to help us. I guess this is also pretty cool for every other students ww to have everything in one place.

  14. Can you add a page continuity feature in your notes? Sometimes it can be very inconvenient to use your single page design. I hope you can add a page continuity feature in your page management, whether it's taking notes or viewing PDF files

  15. Currently, it’s not possible to write on both the question and answer sheets at the same time when the tablet is in vertical mode. This means I have to switch between them, by clicking the “Edit” button, which makes it hard to see and edit both simultaneously. If we could keep both sheets open and editable at the same time, it would be much easier to compare and modify them quickly.

  16. I’d like to suggest a feature that would greatly improve the experience for users with an SPen:

    Could you please add an option to customize the SPen button action?

    For example, instead of always switching to the eraser tool, it would be very useful if we could assign the button to perform an Undo action.

    This would speed up the workflow and match how some other apps handle the SPen button.

    I believe many Samsung tablet users would appreciate this added flexibility.

    Thank you for considering this request and for your great work on

  18. Hi there!
    I’m a long-time GoodNotes user and I’d love to suggest a feature: the ability to embed PDFs or documents as tappable miniatures inside an existing page, not as new notebooks.

    This feature already exists in Apple’s Freeform app, and it’s incredibly useful for organizing study materials or combining notes with reference files.

    I believe many users would appreciate this option. Thanks for considering!

  19. 我更新完之后,画的形状,比如正方形,我点击它出现四个定位点之后必须要点 形状 功能才能用笔改变它的大小,之前明明只要笔点到定位点就可以直接调整了不用专门换到“形状”功能啊,这样很不方便麻烦改回去吧🥹

  20. 1)Currently , when we review flashcards , we cannot zoom in/out . So this makes it difficult sometimes to view photos/ handwritten text because it appears very small.
    2) Instead of showing the answer by flipping the flashcard , make the answer appear on the same page so that we can see the question and the answer at the same time .
    3) If we want to add long answers to the flashcard , the space seems a bit less . so allow us to add multiple pages in a single flashcard .
