Hide navigation bar and optionally hiding the editing bar for screen space efficiency
Even after hiding the status bar, GoodNotes still consumes screen real estate. Let's add an option to hide the navigation bar with the gallery and search and share button. It's not very useful most of the time while working on one document.
Likewise, hiding the editing toolbar gains space but then editing is turned off. The toolbar could simply fold itself into one button in the top right corner so that the user can focus on the document and the text they are writing and get it back when they need it by tapping the screen or using a touch gesture.

Yes, Can you please make it so that the toolbar and the navigation bar can be minimize or folded so it takes up less space? This is the biggest issue with GoodNotes right now and a lot of users agree.

This is the reason I switched to Notability.
The problem becomes worse when using multiple windows. Goodnotes 6 made this even worse since the tabs bar remains visible even with just one open tab.
After trying Notability’s super minimal UI, I don’t think I’ll come back to Goodnotes anytime soon.

Dear the developers of Goodnotes 6,
Please make some option buttons to hide the toolbar, navigation and such in the top of the app. It's the main reason me sticking to the Goodnotes 5.

Please please please add this feature. I am shocked it does not exist. I need as much real estate as possible so I don't have to zoom in and out (which is a pain.)
Any idea when this will be available?

I cannot UNDERSTAND, WHY GN6 TAKES even soo much more writing space, now?!
Pls make the TOOLBAR hideable! Or at least COLOUR customizable!
Even a RADIAL TOOL menu, ( activated by LONG PRESS with pen/finger), fully customizable, as in PROCREATE, would be GOOD! -
THIS is SOOOOO ESSENTIAL!!
Especially NOW with this 6 Version, around!! -

You want educators to use Goodnotes, right? An educator says: let me be in control of what my screen looks like (think about recording lectures on an iPad). As anonymous above says, ther is every reason to allow annotating with both bars invisible.

This is the single biggest issue I have with goodnotes. Apparently this idea has been suggested since 3-4 years ago. Why isn't this getting the attention it deserves?

Don’t know why this problem isn’t getting much attention. It is one of the major issues I have faced using GoodNotes 5.
