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! :-)

Just Let the ipad app and the windows app sync together, else it is of not a great use i guess.

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.

I need desperately need this feature. Please take this one in your next feature update. Thanks

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

Love this!!! Would be great if tags could be as comprehensive as Evernote. Not necessarily colored but tags for subjects that can be user defined

Other apps do this (OneNote, Evernote come to mind), but GoodNotes is the most elegant for those of us who like hand-writing our notes. It’s great that you all are adding all of the stuff for the planning community, but please catch up with features for professionals and graduate students. THIS tagging feature is essential for us.

I have checked all over the internet and App Store for websites or apps that actually have this system of tagging, but none of them are sufficient.
I tried Noteful, but it didn’t work out like what I was looking for. It had tags, but you had to exit out of your notebook and click on that tag name to see all the pages that had that tag (it collects all pages in all of your notebooks that have that tag somewhere on that page). In addition, it didn’t have all the other awesome features Goodnotes had.
The Tagging System I’m looking for:
1. I want something that would let you create, search, and edit tags inside individual notebooks (with the option of making select tags universal like how Noteful works) so that when I searched for the tag, all parts of the pages that I tagged with a tag box (like exactly everything that is inside that tag box) would pop up in chronological order (this can help me keep out currently unimportant parts of my notebook like practice problems). I want to also be able to tag whole notebook pages.
2. In addition to filtering sections of my notebook with the tag, I want to be able to still search inside my handwriting or outline inside the already filtered material (this would be really helpful when I’m doing a quick study and searching for keywords).
3. I also want to be able to overlap tags when I am assigning them and searching for them. (Like search for two or more tags and being able to continue overlapping more tags as long as there is a page with that combination of tags.)
I understand that this is a complicated request. However, it can be a game changer for any iPad notetaking app.
To me, if there is an iPad notetaking app that has this exact tagging system, offline editing, and the ability to work with large files, I would immediately transfer all my notes into it and use it until there is an alternative with more features.
I have attached 3 pages of a visual. Due to file size limits, most of my visual was cut off. Please open this link to view my full visual: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1-ExeKpQQK8ITinUnj-VQRGPfHaa4S8Yqha-EczE2xo8/edit.

Add the ability to add search tags or search keywords to the page of a document.

I am a professional who has started using good notes. I need this feature because I’m often in back to back meetings and taking notes on either client needs or doing people management activities. I don’t always have time to fumble around and find the folder or re arrange pages into folders or notebooks. Tags would be a great way to quickly organize notes based on multiple dimensions. Similar to one note with tabs but even more streamlined.

Oh my goodness please, this would be lovely for going through a book and tagging each page with the topics that are on that page, so I can search that later on and get all the related info without just looking for key/buzzwords.

This would actually be very helpful. I use Goodnotes mainly for college notes, I import slideshows from class and then take notes over them and for recall while studying it would be so great if I could manually add tags to each document regarding big ideas from the content, so I can later just search up “stoichiometry” for example and get any notes I have regarding stoichiometry

It would be useful to be able to include tags on each page of a notebook and have a view filtered by tags. Thus we would have a notebook time ordered and viewer by labels.

I use the “Favorites”/red bookmark feature EXTENSIVELY. It is critical to my workflow. But sometimes I need the ability to scroll/scrub through pages that I have bookmarked ONLY. I can see them in thumbnail view, but cannot just jump from page to page easily. There needs to be a “go to next favorite/bookmark” ability so I can toggle easily.
Also, I would absolutely die of happiness if you introduced MULTIPLE types and colors of bookmarks. For example, being able to label pages with multiple tags would be so helpful. So I can easily find pages that have been marked with GREEN and RED bookmarks/labels, for example. Or, just identify the pages marked with GREEN. Being able to custom-name said labels would be a massive bonus as well. This would help keep me so much more organized and be able to see different information at a glance in documents that are quite long.
