  1. Please add a “paste in place” option to the pop up that appears when you press and hold on a page. I would like to copy one or more elements from a page and then paste in the same position on a new page.

    I use GN as a planner (on my iPad) and frequently tweak and then reuse layouts I like. This would make quicker work of it.

  2. Currently when you import or crop an image, it seemingly randomly resizes depending on how much you’re zoomed in etc. If you crop part of a full sized page, it will show the cropped part full sized after the cropping too. This is a very tedious process.

    I create a lot of sticker sheets with labels, icons etc. If I export them as separate files from my graphic software, I’d like it to be imported in goodnotes at the exact dimensions I exported them at. Mainly since my dimensions are based on the document I am working with, so a…

  4. In GoodNotes 4, 3 colors and the eraser tool were easily accessible at the top of the zoom window. It would be great to have this back. It is a bit inconvenient to reach to the top of the ipad to erase, change tool or undo.

  9. Put undo button back!!!

    Add option to drop straight down — not just left, right, and return

    I constantly wish there was an option to move zoom box down

  10. Enable a "Back" link. PDF "Back" links work until I import the PDF into GoodNotes. I know there is a "Back" menu item but it would be so much easier to support it via a link on a document.

  11. My goodnotes documents are extremely large because inserted photos. I would like to select photo from library and the choose size of file... like when I send an email.

    Also when I take photo to directly insert into a Goodnotes.. allow me to be able to control file size.

    Also... GoodNotes should allow me to see size of my file.

  12. Most artistic or note apps allow you to select an image and directly resize it using two fingers to stretch or pinch. In this same way it can also be reoriented or flipped. Much easier than holding pressure and flipping to resize, and a must for resizing boxes when i am noteteaking for school. Thanks!

  13. Please add B5 paper worksheet, because there is no B5 choice and most college students are using B5 paper because it has a lot of space to write and i'm unable to print my notes to B5 paper type.

  14. More templates and paper types would be good. I would love to notes templates with ability to type in the date, a To Do list would be also great. It would also be good to be able to change the colour or style of your notebook once it has been created

  15. I often need to copy things between multiple pages in the same document. For this reason it would be nice to have the same document in more than one tab with different pages.

  16. Using a zoom box most of the time, I often found that both the tool bars---background toolbar and the zoom box toolbar--- can stay together, so the stylus doesn't have to jump up and down for toolbar options.

    hope to suggest that the entire background toolbar gets lower -so becomes a zoombox tool bar--as the zoombox opens.

  18. Allow users to record a section in their notes, such as drawing out a diagram and its process, and be able to video playback it. It would be super resourceful since you wouldn't only see the end product, but you'd be able to see the process of how you got there. It can reduce copying and pasting of notes to demonstrate the process.

  19. English version:
    I'm excited about the new scalable ruler. Angles to the horizontal can also be easily measured and drawn.

    BUT: Many colleagues, especially in mathematics, at my school and certainly at many other schools lack a scalable set square as a replacement or supplement. This could also be used to measure angles between two straight lines and not just to the horizontal.
    There are some ideas on how to incorporate a set square. However, these set squares do not adjust in size (scaling) when you enlarge or reduce the page. In addition, you cannot draw a line along the…

  20. The new Woodnotes 6 is packed with great functionality. For some people.

    as a user who primarily (99%) writes in my native Swedish language, the experience has actually gotten worse (GN6 interpret my Swedish as wrongfully written English and tries to change it).

    Why do I have to pay extra for a worse product?

    Please offer a version without the language-dependent features for a reduced cost. I have supported GN for a VERY long time, but this makes me feel scammed. Other features that are non-language dependent are making GN6 worth an upgrade, but it's not fair that I have…
