This is exceptionally important to me, as my workflow when using Goodnotes as a note taking tool on a business planner PDF. One suggestion though, make it a document specific setting rather than a global setting, which would allow for usage of finger presses for other purposes in other documents.

Yes this seems so simple to implement yet so rewarding for all the ‘daily planner” users

I looked into switching to zoomnotes at one point and one of the features I absolutely loved and immediately wished was offered on goodnotes (which is and will probably always be my favorite) was the ability to click through each of the links within the edit mode. I am a digital planner, so the edit mode is primarily where my documents stay. This feature would be so helpful to the digital planning community!

I agree, this would be so helpful! It adds a lot of unnecessary "taps" to switch constantly between edit mode and reading mode.
