Add tagging of documents and locations within documents
It would be a great deal, if it would be possible to tag all documents and (possibly) each position within each note with one or more tags. There should be a tag list for each shelf of notes, such that I can have different sets of tags for each shelf. It should then be possible to open the tag list for a shelf, click on a tag, and get a list of all usages of this tag with all documents and all locations within documents. Clicking on a usage should open the document (in case it is the tag of a whole document) or the document at the tagged position (if the tag is attached at a location within the document). The list of usages should be sorted according to the document names, and if there are more usages within a document, according to the page number. It should also be possible to jump from a tagged position within a note to the list of usages, and then to another usage, and so on.
To tag a note or a location within a note, one should be presented a list of available tags within this shelf. Then, one can select one or more tags, and possible also add one or more tags, which then can also be selected.
It would be ideal, if this approach was combined with folders (and subfolders ...) within each shelf, as is proposed in another feature request. One speciality of this request is, that these folders should be kept separately from shelves, in order that different tag groups can be maintained, one tag group for each shelf.
This feature, would make a great application, as GoodNotes already is, much more valuable. It would make GootNotes also a great knowledge management tool - with only little implementation effort. Looking forward for this feature being added! :-)

This is a very important matter. Especially for users who constantly take notes during meetings, the tagging feature exists in other applications. Therefore, it definitely needs to be added to GoodNotes as well."

This is such a basic feature, even the default iOS Notes app has tagging. Come on Good Notes!

yes please! that would be gamechanging! i thin apple notes and apple files makes a great job! e.g. in notes you just write in the document #recipe and then, in the list of all the folders down below is the category „tags“ and ten these are all listed and you can click on them. super easy and customisable.
the files app from apple is also great. they do it similar but with additional colors as well.
i just love, that i can tag one document with more than one tag. sometimes an underfolder just doesn’t work because one document needs two categories, then it just is not possible to use an extra folder :/ and now i have one folder in goodnotes with soo many documents it’s very very unorganized :( -

It sounds like you're envisioning a tagging and organization system for documents and notes that allows for sophisticated management, sorting, and navigation. This would be a powerful way to manage content, especially if you are working with large volumes of documents or notes across multiple categories. https://www.catmeowsounds.com

In addition to being able to “star” or “favourite” documents, it would be great to be able to tag or label documents as “read/complete”, “review again”, “unread”, “in progress”, etc… kinda of like progress labels so when I’m doing readings for school, I know which documents I’ve read, which I am in progress of reading, and which I haven’t started. Rather than using the single-use “ favourite feature, which limits the categories I mentally view my files in. It would be nice if the star remained where it is, and right beside it you could select from a drop down list of other tags, and even customizable tags which would form a folder in the side bar.

Adding document and location tagging can streamline navigation, especially for users searching specific content areas. For instance, users frequently asking, which way is Mecca UK, could benefit from tagged sections that quickly direct them to relevant information.

Edit: hashtags don't work, so I am am using "tag:blahblahblah" in a text box instead, so searches for "tag:" bring up all tags and searches for "tag:blah" will bring up anything tagged "blah". Tenth anniversary of this feature request. Not structured, but until they get around to it, this will maybe be ok instead. If they do,they should make it easy to convert "tag:" or any arbitrary text string to their tagging format.

This would be amazing. I would love to use goodnotes for a recipe notebook, but the lack of searchability makes it hard. Yes there are template solutions but those put hard restraints on the number of pages etc, so that detracts from the flexibility a digital solution should have

I desperately need tags. It's honestly wild that it hasn't been implemented and isn't on the features they are working on. Instead it only refers you to the outline feature as an option to tag pages, being able to use it multiple times per page, completely missing the point that I'd like to use ONE tag on MULTIPLE pages, not the other way around.
I tried out Noteful and I honestly am considering to switch over there, but I'd hate to be giving up the option to search my handwritten notes, plus the large amount of notes I have already created in Goodnotes.

I am really looking for a tagging system like people such as Isla, Eric and Jennifer have commented below, for the purpose of searching and finding information quickly across a notebook but also across all notes. For me this is why I keep looking at other apps at the moment
