Page numbers in standard view
Please create a view in that the current page number and the total page numbers are being shown in the standard view. This would make it easier to navigate. You could also have a function that automatically number the pages.

Link document in document

Toolbar location
It would be great if the user can decide where the toolbar located (Left, right, or Top)
Like other painting software, I can use left hand to switch between tools without moving my wrist29 votesThanks for your feedback!
We’re excited to share that in our latest update (September 2025), you can now place the floating toolbar anywhere on the screen: top, bottom, left, or right — for a more personalized and flexible workspace.
Make sure you're updated to the latest version to access this new feature.

Quicker Outline Creation
I love using the existing outline in PDFs, but it's tough work to create one if it isn't already implemented. A great feature would be the possiblity to choose the option "set as outline title" for marked text to quickly greate an outline for a document.
29 votesHello,
At the moment, we don’t have an option to add a specific part of the text to outlines, but this is available in the page settings.
For faster outline creation—especially when starting from scratch—the best option is to generate an outline using AI, which has also become available recently.
For more details, please read here.
Give it a try and let us know if this works for you!

Bring back presentation mode in GoodNotes 5.
I use GoodNotes 4 to lecture in large classrooms.
I had hoped to use it today, but when I fired up GoodNotes 5, and attached an external display to my iPad, the output didn't hide the user interface!
Please, please, bring that feature back! I was really excited to use GoodNotes 5 for my lectures, but I'm stuck with 4 until this is a feature.
Thank you for making an excellent product!
29 votesWe’ve started public beta testing for presentation mode and will release it soon if we don’t uncover any major problems during the tests. You can help test it by signing up for the beta here: https://forms.gle/49DHiheNFzMkerhg7

Add "Shape Tool" button to zoom window
The "Shape Tool" is essential for writing fractions, square roots and arrows. In mathematics note-taking, it is often to switch the shape tool on/off all the time when writing in the zoom window.
Hence, it is crucial for shape tool to be "selectable" both at the tool bar as well as directly on the zoom window.
27 votesWe’re happy to announce that the update 5.6.0 that we released today adds an improved shape recognition including the option to hold at the end of a line to make a perfect shape, shape selection & editing, and curve drawing. It further improves the recognition of circles and squares and adds back the ability to draw shapes with the highlighter.

Add the ability to search text entered in the 'Text boxes'
The added text using keyboard is usually relevant to find a specific page or information. Currently, this function, only lets you search text inside PDF files, it would be very useful also search for text in "text boxes". Markers are not sufficient and it is difficult to use when you have many.

Export PDF outlines in annotated PDFs
It would be great if the outlines/bookmarks in PDFs edited in Goodnotes would be exported together with the PDF file. The outlines are visible inside Goodnotes, but once the notebook is exported the outlines disappear.

Sticker library with sticker search
Provide small library of ideally scaleable stickers that can be placed on page... Stars,light bulbs, flags, people, '.', men@work, Alerts etc
This would help with being able to visually tag drawings and text (in page) with favourite 'standard' icon-stickers to draw attention when flipping through pages.
Also provide the ability to then search through book to find pages with selected stickers so that I could find all my ideas, thoughts, questions, important items etc
Simple idea with powerful results26 votesWe have released GoodNotes 5.7.0 today that includes our latest feature “Elements”. It allows you to save and reuse frequently needed objects like stickers, stamps, calligraphy, tables, graphs, sketches and more. You can learn more about Element by visiting this blog post: https://medium.goodnotes.com/introducing-elements-save-reuse-stickers-stamps-5275ab9cfd03

Add option to change color/size/style of selected writing
Sometimes I want to resize or recolor parts of my notes after I have written them down in class. I don't always have time to change styles and colors in the middle of a lecture, so it would be nice to be able to change these things with a few simple clicks afterwards.

Full iPadOS trackpad support
iPadOS 13.4 provides trackpad support (I’m using the 13.4 GM beta). In GoodNotes 5, however, the trackpad is not fully supported. For example, a two-finger swipe on the iPad changes pages, but a two-finger swipe on the trackpad does not. In the tab view, a touch on the “x” with your finger closes the document, but clicking on the “x” with the trackpad does nothing.
24 votesThe update 5.4.24 was released a few hours ago and adds support for scrolling with trackpad and Magic Mouse to GoodNotes.

I would love it if I were able to import from and export to Google Drive app.
I have to open my Google Drive and use the Open In... feature to open my file in Goodnotes. Then to export my file back to Google Drive I have to export it to a different app such as Dropbox or Notability, then re-export it to Google Drive.
