  1. In GoodNotes 4 it was easy to rename a Favorite that has been assigned to a page. This is helpful to navigate through a large number of pages. In GN 5 I only get a list of thumbnails with page numbers, which is useless, unless I can figure out the content of the respective page from the thumbnail view.
    It cannot be too difficult to bring this feature back. The names that I have assigned in my old GN 4 documents are even shown now in GN 5! Since the day GN 5 came out, I waiting for this feature…

  2. When you open a notebook pages are initially displayed in full height. First thing you have to do is double tap to make the app use the available space of the display. I use A4 paper format, not GoodNotes standard.

  5. An Export-Function for handwritten (!!! => not a PDF-Version) notes to Microsoft Teams / OneNote would be GREAT! A direct Sync to the TEAMS-Server would be even better!

  6. Note taking would be much smoother if we could use the selection tool to move text and objects without having to exit the magnification.

  9. When I import a document, sometimes I’d like it to be open. But app stays in the current folder and not the one I imported the doc into. So I have to navigate.

    I’d like to be see a toast message allowing me to click to open the newly imported document.

  10. It will be great if legal or important documents could be permanently saved as read-only, preventing any future editing or inappropriate deletion.

  11. When I have more than half of a page left but can't fit my next note, I want to add the next blank page to continue what I did on the previous page without having to re-paste the entire note onto a new page. In addition to taking notes, I also want the roping tool to move across pages, which is faster and easier than copying and pasting. This function works on notability.

  12. It would be great if we could move a page from a notebook to a different notebook, or a document in a folder to a different folder with ease, without copying and deleting. A move function would be useful to be able to organize my notebooks with ease.

  14. Hello, a close button (X button) for the last open file would be a great advantage. Maybe that can be done with the next update.

  15. The PDF has text underneath and the pen will automatically straighten when drawn under it. Same with highlighting. That way you aren’t thinking about which pen you are using and thinking about the actual information

  16. 目前在非编辑模式下快速点击屏幕边缘无法连续翻页,必须等当前翻页动画结束后才能触发下一个翻页动作。这样大幅减小了翻页速度,使得想要快速翻许多页时只能借助缩略图或者蓝牙键盘,十分不便。而在GoodNotes 5的旧版本中是可以实现上述的快速翻页的 ,希望可以恢复这个特性。

  20. I do understand that it makes sense for the document to pop back into central view when dragging to the side, but when handwriting at the document’s edge, this becomes an annoyance.

    How about a new action/feature where the documents still pop back into central view under normal circumstances, but when the user really drags the document far off to the side, the document stays there at the side of the screen. Now the user can handwrite comfortably, with his hand resting on the black part (background) of the screen, and the document on the other side of the screen.…
