Moving pages between notebooks instead of copy, paste and delete manually

To move pages between Notebooks, you have to copy and paste the respective page. After that you have to go back and delete the page from the original place in order to avoid double pages. Please ad a function to just move pages from one Notebook to another.

    And move note books into a master notebook.

  • Bevin commented  ·   ·  Report

    This is so necessary. Under thumbnail view, I would like to highlight selected pages, and then export to new notebook. At the moment, I can highlight pages, go to a new notebook. Pick a "dummy" sheet that I don't need. Go to thumbnails. Paste copied pages. Delete the dummy sheet. Go back to the original document. Delete the highlighted pages. Inefficient and honestly surprising considering how good this app is otherwise.

    I think you can forget the likelihood of this app being developed any further. Looking through the requests that are marked 'Started' they are all at least 1 Year old and some are over 2 Years old.

    Completely agree! Can’t believe this simple function isn’t in this app. Please add it pronto! People have been complaining about it for years now.

    I have wasted A LOT OF TIME trying to find this missing feature. I was just "sure" this basic capability must be in there somewhere!!
    Who among us has not discovered a 'better way' to organize our notes only after beginning to use this great app? Please add this oversight.

    This feature started more than a year ago. Is there any ETA for this feature?

  • K P commented  ·   ·  Report

    Yes, just figured out that in the pages view, you can select and copy pages but not to a different notebook. I’m the same as others, I just open the app, slide to a new page, then re-arrange pages and notebooks later.

    support moves very slow on this app it seems. looking around for another app to provide the functionality. if youre like me, you have hundreds upon hundreds of pages of notes that you want to combine in one nice compact notebook... its very frustration to have to play the shuffling game to accomplish this...

    Any chance you'll add this functionality?

    I have had this app on my iOS devices for several years & the one thing that have always bugged me was not being able to take any specific PDF and place it in multiple folders.. OR/ easy move that PDF around within the selected “journal/folder”

    The application being a musician who gets Music Charts via PDF and rearranging the charts from from set list to set list (week to week)... not having this feature has caused me to rely on other apps even though I love the annotating elements of this app the best

    A copy/cut/paste function would allow me to consolidate many of the thousands of pages of my ideas/notes into focused notebooks.

    I have to same this is annoying I have a lot of duplicates as a result I am looking for another app.

  • Phil Oates commented  ·   ·  Report

    Copy, change notebooks, paste, return to the other note book, delete option works but is cumbersome.
    It would be much more efficient to have a move option like the one in MS Excel where you can pick the notebook it goes to and the position in that notebook where you want it to be put.
    I keep all my current task lists and projects in a couple of notebooks and when finished i archive the redundant pages so I can always backtrack to what I did and why so a move function would make this much simpler.

  • Richard commented  ·   ·  Report

    The ability to copy / move multiple non consecutive pages from one document to another would be fantastic.

  • Deborah Naugle commented  ·   ·  Report

    I agree. I'd also like the ability to merge 2 notebooks. I've had occasion after using a topic that I want to reorganize it. Sometimes this includes merging 2 notebooks. If they are large it's painful to copy, paste and then delete.

  • John Date commented  ·   ·  Report

    I agree with Phillip. Usually I wish to jot a few notes, and then quickly move that page to an appropriate notebook. This happens far more than when I'm consciously spawning a page as a duplicate to another notebook. A "cut" page choice would solve this, in addition to "copy" page.

  • John Date commented  ·   ·  Report

    Actually this is possible, though not obvious in its execution.

    1. Go to Thumbnails.
    2. Touch Edit button (upper right)
    3. Select page or pages you wish to move
    4. Touch Copy button (lower left)
    NOW GO TO TARGET NOTEBOOK
    1. Go to thumbnails.
    2. Touch Plus button (upper left).
    3. Touch Plus icon (where you wish to insert pages.
    4. Select Paste Copied Pages
    5. Touch Done button (upper left)
    WHEW!

    I couldn't find the copy and paste button in my full version of GoodNotes. So the ability to move a page in one notebook to another will be great.
