Lock a layer would be ideal, but locking at least text/title boxes and objects (backgrounds, stickers and images) is critical.

This would be SOOOO helpful.

I suggest adding a layer function to GoodsNotes, which is more convenient for users to perform multiple painting operations on the same picture

Goodnotes, can you address this? There are so many apps like Canva that do this. The lack of these options makes it hard to design pages.

A lock feature for text/elements etc. would be a HUGE quality of life upgrade for us! Please consider this devs~

This one feature is making me consider going to one of your competitors and dumping Goodnotes. . :(

So sad 😭 neeed ittttt

In my opinion, Goodnotes 5 is almost perfect and far ahead of other notes apps. The main area that it needs improvement is in the ability to draw diagrams that are organized and clean without taking ages to do it. This problem could be easily solved using layers and a fill tool. While some have suggested that a simple “front to back” or “back to front” layering system would suffice, a comprehensive layering system in which each layer is treated as a separate document layered on top of or underneath another would allow for complex anatomical diagrams like I use for med school or just simply creating flow charts. Second, the current “fill color” option for shapes needs a lot of work. While it is nice to have certain shapes automatically fill, there is currently no way to change the opacity of the fill. Second, it would be great if there was a better way to fill shapes manually, similar to Microsoft Paint’s bucket tool.

GoodNotes 5 is single-handedly my most used iPad app. It is the BEST for note taking. But, it falls short when it comes to drawing sketches for my notes. Other note taking apps, like notability, also have issues when it comes to sketching notes.

Drawing a diagram of the layers of the skin, or the cores of the Earth, is time consuming and overly difficult. I like to test out many different custom colors from the color wheel to get the right colors, and unless you save every single custom color you make, there’s no chance you’re getting that color back without trying to recreate that color. It’s also quite annoying to have a bunch of random colors in your pen color section when you’ll only use those once for that one diagram. It would be amazing if we could actually pick custom colors from an eye dropper tool. This would solve so many problems I and many other people face.

I also find myself constantly making mistakes while drawing (I’m not an arts major, after all) and needing to erase things. Unfortunately, in GN5 there is no way to layer text, images, or even different pens/drawings. It would be dope if we could layer different items on top of each other. What would be even better on top of that is the ability to lasso an area and have an option to see “layers,” and if we clicked on that, we would be able to see the different layers of each object present in that space, isolate them (to delete them, erase specific parts, etc.), or change their layer position.

I know these are big asks and are likely complicated to implement, but I do think these would significantly improve the user’s quality of life and put GoodNotes 5 at an advantage over its competition.

It would be nice if you could lock elements on the page so you do not move them by mistake. blah, you will easily move a widget when you have to write on top of it

So frustrating not to be able to lock an image when I write on top of it!

With the number of people requesting this, including myself, the developers should make this a priority. Your competition already has this feature and the send back and bring forward features. These are extremely useful features to have.

This is SUPER frustrating to NOT beable to lock an object. . . PLEASE add the ASAP!

I came here specifically to suggest this feature. I digital journal and I think it’s important that when I’m trying to add a template to a page that I can lock it into the background because I hate it when I have to move a few images and it pulls my imported template with it.

Please add layers with opacity!
This will Aid drafting.
And It can record our mind!
Please Take This into Consideration!

Locking and grouping items (objects or “layers”) are right up there with most important missing features.
