Layer
Allow users to put comments on different layers. It would be helpful if these could be turned on/ off, or have their transparency % adjusted like in the Photoshop Touch application. Selecting annotations on one layer only or locking others would be useful as well.

Yes, please! I like to write within shades boxes, and if I need to erase my pen it erases the fill too! So frustrating! I would love to be able to lock the shapes.

With the new sticky notes, this is practically essential now!

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.

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.

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.

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.
