This sidebar:
- must be swipeable from either the left or right side of the screen
- can show all notes, recents, favorites, unfiled, shared - exactly like what Notability currently has (please see attached screenshot)
- shows important information about each note, e.g., modified date, created date, location, etc.
- can filter and sort notes based on selected options, e.g. modified date, created date, etc.
- when the user taps a note to open, either switch to that note or open it in the background

As a GN6 paid user, this feature is critical.

Please, GoodNotes developers, for Pete's sake. We're paying customers and you *still* haven't fixed this basic design flaw.

Also, your "for now" solution is *not* a solution. It's a terrible approach, almost like you're saying it be a feature not a bug. You've invested in AI (no doubt to spy on people's documents and steal our ideas). Why can you not deal with this with a simple ticket that would take max 2–4 hours (development+review+deployment)?

Couldn't agree more with all of the points already mentioned. I feel this is an essential feature to make folder and file navigation efficient.

Yes! Organization is one thing that goodnotes is lacking. I would love love for it to ve more organized like notability. It’s the only reason I prefer using notability more, when goodnotes is better in every other way.

The sidebar on GoodNotes for Mac is pretty useless. It's a total waste of screen real estate. The three options could easily be tabs or buttons somewhere else.

We need a REAL sidebar! Why can't I drag folders to the big vast empty sidebar for shortcuts?

I love GoodNotes, but the Mac version is super frustrating to use. The number of unnecessary clicks makes it a chore. Moving documents is a clunky PITA. Adding the ability to place folders in the sidebar would make a huge difference!

I'd really like for the sidebar to function as a proper file browser, but I'd settle for even simpler functionality.

Please! I was about to buy it but I'm looking for something with a "table of contents" instead of a file explorer.

I switched to GoodNotes for its stability, but I just can’t stand it’s organization. Please add this or at least give a choice.
