Enable removal of imported bookmarks from PDF structure
When we import a PDF that has a built-in outline structure, that structure is added to our notebooks as outline items. But they cannot be edited, and if you delete pages, the outline items remain.
In the latest version of GoodNotes 5, you can filter the Outlines tab to exclude PDF outlines. This doesn’t technically delete them but they don’t block your custom outline structure.

Can the outline be added but not deleted? Why is it not technically feasible? This sounds ridiculous. What I need is to delete useless information or allow me to edit the existing bookmarks. I don't need this filtering function, it's useless at all.

It doesn't make sense to not let PDF bookmarks be deleted.
If you import the wrong pdf file, then import the pdf again, but those wrong bookmarks cannot be deleted. How illogical this is.
Imagine a note with hundreds of pages, and you have us filter out PDF bookmarks just for the ones that can't be deleted. -

I am here because I have the same problem. and I have to say/add that this issue does not seem to be finished / closed at all given the problem.
– with view to the need(!) to delete old/unused/wrong outline structure from imported PDF just filtering ALL PDF outlines is like tearing down a house to repair the roof.
some additional reasons + reasoning:
- importing the PDF outline structure is simply a huge time-saver
- importing the PDF outline structure is the only way (I could find) to have a hierarchical outline structure
- I want both!
- as said in OP: old outline structure remains even if the respective pages are deleted – that is like a trash one cannot empty. it clogs the system and makes it eventually meaningless.
- this simply is unwanted behaviour (at least! one could also classify it a 'bug'); to tell people not using the (imported) PDF-outline structures is a solution is not really ... ehm ... a true / functional answer. it renders the whole function (imported / automatic PDF-outlines) meaningless... and actively confusing in use.I would hope this is taken on the bug-tracker-list again soon!
thx!oliver

A button that allows you to back to your open notebooks. Currently, if I go back to the documents screen, I have to open an arbitrary notebook to get back to my notebook tabs. Can't we have a button that toggles back-and-forth between the documents menu and our open notebooks?
