I know everyone is busy. But if it existed, everyone in the world would be saved.

Please make it this happen. Very annoying to edit image, but at the end image is moving.

GoodNotes has become great software for students and digital planners alike. Many people crossing over into both those categories.

We draw, we add images, stickers, text and handwriting. We can let the lasso choose ‘image only’, we can send items to the front/back, but what we can’t do is lock layers and it’s so frustrating.

Often times I have a background image that I want to stay locked while I move/edit/work on something in the middle layer and/or foreground (picture a calendar made of an image AND text). The current tools make this impossible to do and it ends up taking a really long time to do something that should take seconds.

I know people in the GN community have been asking for lockable layers for years and many are suggesting to go elsewhere. I’d love an answer as to whether this is possible and something GoodNotes would actually consider/put into place with GoodNotes 6.

Please add a "lock" features to lock something you don't want to erase or move. Another "lock" to lock the page so that it won't zoom.

My #1 frustration….when I’m trying to annotate an image and GoodNotes selects the image. If I want to move the image, I will use the lasso tool.

When annotating an image, and then clicking on the image, the writing gets brought to the "back" layer, and annotations are lost. Keep the writing on the picture as if it's already grouped and part of the image.

This is an urgently needed feature. Our notes and planners have become very useful with the addition of so many elements, photos, stickers, and text boxes. I realize we can turn items on and off in the lasso tool as we move things around, but it's just not enough. It seems like such a basic feature, I'm not sure why we don't have it already.

PLEAAASE

It would be nice if we could move images backward or to the front

How is this not a feature yet? 😞

We need layers similar to drawing apps in Goodnotes. It doesn't have to be crazy, but 2-3 will be good for most users.

It is more like a graphic desing or Illustration based but it wouldb very, very helpful for note taking.

- Add annotation on separate layers without changing original content
- Hide or show layers independently
- Rearrange layers

I would like to choose which layer I want to move, resize, etc. As well as move a element backward or forward between layers.

Or even just the classic "move back"/ "move to back"/ "move to front"/... feature that they have on Word! Anything so that you don't have to recopy and paste anything you want to be on the top layer :/ gets very tedious when trying to write and use pictures at the same time

I would like the feature of setting an image to the back/background. When I write over a photo and need to move a pen mark, I have to erase the mark, as moving the mark would move the image too.

Include a function that when writing with a text box you can place a new layer on top and use the pen to write in the spaces without selecting the text.

Layers for EVERYTHING. Stickers, drawings, text, etc. would absolutely change the face of my workflow for the better. Our entire production uses GoodNotes, but since everyone takes their own notes on their own page, we end up generating multiple duplicates of documents. Introducing layers would be the first step in streamlining what is now a bit of a redundant and complicated workflow.

Furthermore, being able to LOCK layers so people working on the same document can’t edit or alter.

Please!! I want to highlight a text that I previously wrote and everytime my hand touches the text it switches to the text function!! So annoying >:(

I never even thought about an option to disable the layering. It does annoy me as most times I don’t need the layering, such as highlighting lines of text and they overlap or when I want straight lines on a bigger area than the thickest highlighter.
