  1. Please add the ability to redact (or black out) portions of text. I’d like to email documents to clients but there is often confidential information that needs to be removed.

    You can change the pen color to black and draw over the sections you want to redact. Export it as a flattened PDF and the confidential information can’t be seen by anyone else.

  2. Please allow highlighter pdf option, which highlits the text itself without “leftovers”, like there may be found on pdf editing apps, not only marker option, as there is today.

    Thank you

  3. My PDF software (provided by my employer, I don't have a choice to not use it) cannot parse a JPG2000 file (photos taken WITHIN GoodNotes are saved as JPG2000.... if I take a picture with my ipad camera, SOMETIMES, GN will parse this as a regular JPG... but usually it does not.

    This is really frustrating when I export to PDF to share with others in my workgroup, and they cannot see the photograph that I carefully annotated to explain the thing we are working with...

  4. On mac version of goodnotes 5 - the highlighter is set to freehand. A highlighter with a straight line would be much better

    In the current version, you can already create a new window using the keyboard shortcut CMD + N or the menu bar item. In the new window, you can open a new notebook.

  12. It would be great to be able to completely get rid of a cover in an existing notebook. I know you can change them, but it doesn't seem possible to remove them.

  13. I would love to be able to access my notes later on from desktop or web, in case I don't have my ipad or can't get enough screen real estate to easily review them on my phone.

  14. Currently, I can only add pictures from the Photos app. It would be awesome if I could add images from Dropbox, iCloud, or any other remote storage system.

    To add images from other sources, tap on the image tool in the toolbar and then tap anywhere on the page. This will bring up the image picker and at the bottom of the pop-up, you’ll see the option to “Insert from…”. This will enable you to choose from other sources.

  15. I have painstakingly imported each individual files into their respective folders in GoodNotes.

    I would like the option to sync or import full folders from Google Drive to prevent this time consuming process.

  16. Allow for editing handwriting (moving to different locations, deleting..) in Mac App or deleting pages in a handwritten document. Usefulness is like 50% without these features.

    Both of these features are already available. They work like on the iPad. Use the lasso tool to select and move objects on the page.
    Delete pages in the thumbnail view.

  17. Possuo o goodnotes 4 e não atualizei ainda para o 5 pois o mesmo não sincroniza com o OneDrive ou Google Drive, quando essa função vai está ativa?

  18. The Logitech crayon works on the app, however the pens are basically all the same, the maximum thickness is different to when using drawing with your finger of an apple crayon as I suppose it isn’t fully compatible with the crayon yet.

  20. 1st hour migrating from Notability. But, in Goodnotes you can't snap to zoom the page to full width. Also, when you flip the ipad into landscape orientation it would be great for full with to be maintained. Maybe a button to zoom to full page or page width... would be great. Please :-)
