Draggable scroll bar
Since iOS 13 there is the possibility to hold and drag the scroll bar on the right to scroll. This does not seem to be the case in GoodNotes 5. It‘s a very small but useful feature to get a quick glance at the document or finding a page in a big document. Once you get used to it in other apps like OneNote, you start to miss it in GoodNotes 5.

I am so disappointed that GN5 do not have this so common function in 2020?
How comes? Please add it. -

It would be very, very helpful if there was a simple option for a scrolling button in the right side of the document (see picture). Especially with very large documents it is very uncomfortable when you have to scroll "manually" and cannot "jump" between sections within a document by scrolling (right now, you have to go to the thumbnails section).

In other PDF apps, if you press and hold the scroll on the right you can advance pages much faster. You cannot engage this feature on GoodNotes. It would be a great asset because it takes me forever to move through PDFs on GoodNotes.

In most other PDF Viewers (or on webpages, the file app, etc) there is the option to hold the scrolling icon on the right hand side of the creen to quickly swift through the pages.
This is something that's really missing in GoodNotes 5! It slows down my work flow immensly.

It’s an imperative improvement. The possibility of scrolling the side bar the same way as in Files app (or even Safari) for moving over documents. The current way I’ve found out for jumping to a far page is looking in the general miniature view and selecting it or selecting the number. It’s easier just to scroll down until you get the page. In the computer version feels perfect moving around documents.

Please add this feature! It will really help with further integrating GoodNotes into iOS and iPadOS!

This feature in PDF expert is really well executed and also available horizontally with Page Thumbnail, Page Name (if it is in bookmarks/outline), and Page Number. It is *very* useful and makes accessing a document feel more like a physical book where you can peak before turning. I would love to have this sort of a concept for GoodNotes.

Highly relevant feature! It is fundamentally important to work properly with GoodNotes 5. Miss it very much.

For navigating massive documents in no time. Sometimes, even scrolling four pages at the same time takes some time.
It would make pdf managing in general better

This is a crucial feature. Notability has this. This feature is just too good to not have. Please add it soon.

Tap and hold the scroll bar to a fast vertical scrolling.

Instead of having to do two finger scrolling, which gets a bit tiresome when working with a stylus, why don’t you include a scroll bar/area on the right/bottom side of the screen? I know that there is a similar option with the Apple Pen attached, but why not make it an option for general use, even just when using your finger?

it will be remarkable if they add scroll bar so that you can scroll fast and go to intended page. Especially if you are working in a large pdf with many pages. It will take very long to scroll page by page. It is a basic functionality which is in every other free and paid apps.. people please upvote so that developers will consider to add this basic functionality which is missing
