Locking Objects
Need to be able to lock individual items. In planners sometimes the layout itself is a sticker. Need to lock that so I can move the stickers above without the bottom one moving.
Thanks for your suggestion! We’re happy to share that we’ll be introducing the ability to lock objects very soon.
We’ll keep you posted once it goes live.
Stay tuned for app updates and announcements!

For note taking and annotating on PDF files, its very hard to do so on the whiteboard when the things below are wiggling around when using lasso. This is a critical feature for students.

Please include this. So many people are leaving this great app because not having this feature makes notes and planning more difficult.

Yes! This is a frustrating thing when trying to be efficient.

This would be really helpful it is incredibly frustrating to try to add text to widgets or stickers for planners. It always selects the image and not the text box and I'm forever having to send it to the back. Makes it really not enjoyable to use.

GoodNotes does not have a feature to individually lock elements on a page, such as shapes, text boxes, or images. While you can lock entire documents with a password in GoodNotes 6 (on iOS), there's no way to lock specific elements within a page to prevent accidental selection or movement when using the lasso tool or making other edits.

This also is a problem for me. I just want to not select the image with tap so my palm doesn't accidently move the image.

YES!!! This feature would be super helpful. As a college student, I love taking notes directly on the slides my professors provide, but I like to add my own lines to write on. Because I created the lines however, it makes it incredibly difficult to move my handwriting around from one line to another without moving the lines as well. If I could “lock” the lines, it would allow me to select my handwriting more easily.
I have been using Goodnotes for 2 years, and I love it, but I have been wanting this feature to be added for the longest time. It would be a game changer for me!

Please add this feature. A lot of people are leaving Goodnotes because it is frustrating to not be able to work without images or text being moved around. We need the ability to lock layers, text, and images.

The ability to lock an item such as an element to the page so that it isn’t selected by mistake would be incredibly beneficial. The palm rejection is hit or miss, it is becoming increasingly obnoxious when I am writing and an element I placed down to act as a sticky note or to-do list is selected out of nowhere, outside of the lasso tool I have not seen any kind of option to turn this off. Having the capability to simply lock an element to a page so that it can’t be moved would alleviate that issue, as well as diminish some of the back and forth when it comes to the lasso tool. For folks like me who create their planner pages entirely with elements this would be a crucial function.

Layers that can lock like Noteful or just a simple lock for text boxes & images like Samsung Notes

Hi
With respect ,
Currently i am a permanent user of goodnotes 6 . So i have a suggestion that will help in my privacy , the suggestion is regarding to add a feature in the app to lock full folder instead of documents one by one which take long time . So if this feature add in the app it will be very helpful for the user to put his/her personal documents in one folder with privacy lock .
Thanks . -

Any update to fix this?

Elements should be able to be locked, grouped, and mirrored.

It gets sometimes disturbing. When I paste an image & want to annotate on that the image gets dragged & I have to undo everything. Consider making an option to lock the image
