Please. This is the simplest feature that can probably be implemented over the air. Please give me the option to disable highlighter layering. This is very annoying when doing diagrams but instead y’all add “elements” when we can already import pictures :( Please add this soon or I might have to find another app to do diagrams (like Procreate) and transfer over, which is very inconvenient in lecture. Thanks.

Please please add a layering option for photos and stickers. This is vital vor digital planners like myself. Thank you! 😊

I would LOVE layers ability . I am looking at other apps that have that feature

Yes!!! I have been wanting this

This feature would be incredibly useful and is the sole thing holding me back from good notes. Please please do this as far as I can tell no note-taking app or PDF annotator has this feature and it would set it apart from competing note-taking apps.

Most other programs already offer a lock feature. It would be great to see this added so I don’t have to learn another program.

yes please. layer is a MUST have.

That's an awesome idea.

I wish there was an option for disabling the layering of the highlighter tool, since sometimes we need to colour diagrams or doodles and it gets impossible to do so with the highlighter because you have to do it correctly in only one stroke. If layering could be disabled, the highlighting would all be in one layer, and colouring in multiple strokes would be uniform and not look overlapped and irregular.

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
