Yes! This would be super helpful for doing homework and taking notes.

Please add this feature. A lot of people are leaving good notes because it is so frustrating for new users. It takes a very long time to create a document or to even plan because you can’t lock stickers or layers or words.

Love GoodNotes 6 for journaling! Please add layering, lock/unlock, and group/ungroup. Layers to stack/reorder images and stickers, lock/unlock to stop accidental moves, and group/ungroup to move multiple elements together. These would make planning and creative work smoother. Thanks for considering!

Layers are critical in digital note taking. You’d get more subscribers if this feature was available.

I’d love to have this for musical score study. I could do harmonic analysis on one layer, thematic analysis on another, and notes for performance on another… so it’s not just useful for drawing!

Why the developer take very long time just to add lock image and layers? I love goodnote, paid for it, but now I am considering to move to other app if goodnote doesnt add and fix this situation

I started using Noteful because they had this feature! It is such a game changer when doing digital planning. Please add this as soon as possible, would love to come back and use Goodnotes, but those layers are a necessity. With the ability to add as many layers as we want, rename them, lock them, and unlock, and hide or unhide.

This is the one reason I also have Noteful on my iPad. When I’m marking up pdf drawings and diagrams for work, or home improvements, this is essential. I would be able to do _everything_ in Goodnotes if this feature was added.

أحد الأخطاء الأكثر شيوعًا في المراهنات هو عدم التحكم في العواطف. https://www.instagram.com/melbet.morocco.official/ الفوز المتتالي يمكن أن يجعلك تشعر بالثقة المفرطة، بينما الخسائر قد تدفعك للمحاولة الفورية لتعويضها، وهو ما يؤدي غالبًا إلى قرارات سيئة. المراهنة الناجحة تتطلب هدوءًا نفسيًا وإدارة جيدة للأموال. من الأفضل دائمًا التوقف وأخذ قسط من الراحة بعد سلسلة من الخسائر، بدلاً من الاستمرار بوضع رهانات عشوائية. هل لديكم قواعد معينة تساعدكم في التحكم في مشاعركم أثناء المراهنات؟

Layers in GoodNotes would be the biggest game changer for me and many. I use GoodNotes for purposes even beyond notes- drawing/sketching/music engraving even. Layers would speed up and enhance my process sooo much. Please :))

Please make this a thing!

Yes! If Goodnotes could lock images it would be perfect! Right now using pictures as a background is a pain.

The lack of this feature is causing me to consider other apps. I have been asking for this for 3+ years: REAL layers and LOCKING layers.

Locking layers are needed very soon!! many are leaving for ZoomNotes because of this very thing. Hurry please!

Please please give us locking layers. So many design your own planners. Would be amazing to be able to lock layouts and design on top.

I see myself using this function on a daily basis for my calendar. I'd love to be able to have separate calendars in different layers to see what I am doing each day and show or hide things not unlike one does in apple or google calendar. So far I just use different colors, but since I can't filter by color, things get very busy looking. It would also be cool to have drawings or a base diagram on a certain layer with text and be able to toggle and adjust them individually. Maybe start with just 2 layers toggleable / adjustable layers in addition to the base file and see how it goes?

Firstly, Thank you @Brooke for taking the time to gather and post all the threads of similar nature. I’m voting on them all!

The issue for me:
Text boxes (that have to be placed and then annotated) often shift while using gestures; which cause annotations, such as highlighted text, to be in the wrong places. Not only is it annoying but if it’s not caught straight away, can be problematic. Layers or the ability to lock items in place would solve this.

I ought to mention that having a text box deselected from the lasso tool does not always work. If I tap on the text box alone, I can still move it.

My specific use case: Scripts for theater shows. It would be HUGE to be able to have the Sound department write their notes and cues on a layer, the lighting department write their notes and cues on another layer, the stage manager write their cues and notes on another layer - but then to be able to turn on and off each department's layer. Additionally, being able to have multiple layers visible, but have only one ACTIVE layer - ex. I would like to see the lighting department's layer while I am writing notes on my sound department layer, but not impact the other layers.... it would be Huuuuuuge. Thank you!

I am in the military and we use the app IOT draw maneuvers. Usually we need to overlay different types of layers to analyze and facilitate the Decision Making Process. This feature would be very helpful and it will make the process neat and simple. In an environment where time sensitive decisions can save lifes, this feature would be a perfect life saver.

This would be very useful - locking certain layers so you can write/draw over them and erase without messing up the locked layers would be great!
