Lock 🔒 zoom in presentation mode.
In goodnotes 4 you were able to lock 🔒 the zoom 🔎 displayed on a mirrored screen when presenting. For example, students would only see what you have zoomed into on the ipad via projector 📽 , whilst you (the teacher) could zoom out or in on the iPad app to continue to annotate your notes continuously helping with your work flow.

In the update 5.3 for iPadOS, we added the ability to open GoodNotes in multiple windows, which enables you to open the same document in two windows side by side. By tapping on the share button in the navigation bar, you can choose the window you want to present from, essentially enabling you to do much more than screen lock did in GoodNotes 4.
You can freely zoom in and out or change the page on the other window without affecting what your audience sees.

No 2 Windows is not the same thing than before with the lock. That’s a bit problem for teachers like me.

I understand that this post is quite old, but I believe this feature is still highly desired. I’m certain that there are individuals who continue using old GoodNotes 4 solely because of this feature. If it doesn’t inconvenience the developers significantly, I kindly request that you consider adding this feature.

Makes the upgrade almost unusable. :/

hello. I agree with Christian. It'd be really better to get the lock zoom button back!

Honestly, this adds complexity to the way we use GoodNotes. It would be nice to have the lock zoom button back, since its function was very obvious, showing a frame of what is currently visible to the audience.
Due to iPads 4:3 screen ratio, what I see on my screen is always a bit less to the left and the right than what the students see on our AppleTV.
I know it's nice to have multiple windows support, but I would find it rather cumbersome to be forced to split my screen in order to achieve the same that a single button before was able to do, while retaining my full screen estate.To tell you a bit about my use case:
Students will normally need me to zoom to a particular part of the page I'm writing on, because otherwise it would be too small for them to see. And while I am leading a discussion with them, I might be preparing another graphic or write another sentence onto the page, without leaving the focus on what it is currently zoomed in on. Once I'm coming to the point where I want to talk about what I just put on the page, I would disable the zoom lock and - boom! - The next point of discussion magically appears on the screen.
