The would be so helpful!

I learn german. My classbook has some exercises on it. After I wrote the answers on class and read the page at home, it’d be nice, if I can hide the answers and try to do the exercises again. Goodnotes has in menu item More, an option to clear page. It could also have an item to hide page annotations. So I could do the exercises again, then unhide the layer with the answers and see if I made all right!

When I select something (handwriting, images, text box) and overlap others. I cannot control which layer is at front or back. That means the one I want to show may be hidden.

I really need a option to put pictures in the background regardless the order I add the pictures into my document.
Please add a layering function so that i can also just select one layer with the lasso tool.

Layers would take digital planning to a different level, especially for people who like to draw their own planner inserts! Please layers are a must have!

If you double tap the lasso, you can specify what you want to lasso.. shutting off text when you want to just lasso the image, etc.

YESSS. I'm so tired of adding text as a title to a document and then accidentally lassoing it to move something else. SO ANNOYING.

Hello,
I am a great user of the app, using it to design furnitures and on measure wood work. Good notes is so fine but two major improvement should be released on the next update :
I am writing my notes in French and in English. For this I need to create two documents. If you could create a « layer » option, I could simply choose the language I need to export in the same document. The top of the top would be layers even for the draws themselves. I could take a picture of client interior and put one two or three layers to make the draws.
The second thing is about getting a very basic architect map. You should allow to put a manageable « scale » on the draws.
You should have a look on what procreate do for this.
Last thing is about the line draws. We should be able to draw a line by simply putting the two point on the beginning and the ending of the line. Very often, my line are not « vertical or horizontal ». But your tool always want to make it like this....
If you do those improvement, architects or people like me will more likely to use Good note because it’s so simple, than procreate...
Hoping you can, ear me and thanks to the team
Best regards
Nicolas

The single biggest thing you could do to improve GoodNotes is to add layers.

A feature where you can lock images and handwritten notes and can’t be erased but you can still use highlighter on them and they will go under and they still remain high quality when you zoom in and not fuzzy like when i convert my notes to an image. And an unlock feature incase you want to re-edit it again instead of converting it into a flattened pdf then writting a lot of things on top of it then realising you need to change something but its flattened. Or this problem could be solved with layers.

I would also love to see masks because it would allow us to temporarily focus on things and hide others

This feature would also be handy when editing my writing. I sometimes like to make little notes of ideas for myself, so I can remember edits I would make once I get my hands on a laptop. Also, this would be great for presentations or speeches so I can have my notes hidden. Another use could be to make notes over Reference books material while having the option to remove it and have a look at the original content.

Please add the option to lock layers or lock elements on the GoodNotes app.

I use GoodNotes as a "whiteboard" in online lectures. It would be perfect to have more layers, for example in order to have a basic "picture" prepared before the lecture starts, which can then be added, commented or completed within the lecture without destroying the original one.

Please add the possibility to draw on different layers. It would be helpful both for notes and drawings, to be able to draw and edit in different layers.

Add a lock feature like keynote that allows you to lock an image or text layer. That you can’t move, lasso, highlight unless you unlock it yourself.

I use GoodNotes for business files. Layers would be priceless! I could record on one level, comment on another and be able to turn comments off when sharing with the customer. Part recommendations on another. This would leave all records for that visit totally in one document. W/opacity variables would be great as I could create overlays for the customer to so they can see actually visualize the modifications we are suggesting. Please add layers & hyperlinks to websites and or email.

Using Layers, like in drawing apps, we could turn on and off the things we want to see in that page. This feature would help in exercises for example, where the answer can be hidden when you are re-doing an exercise

please ad layers! It would be great to have laysers with opacity too!

LAYERS will be awesome. please please let there be layers on goodnotes
