Quickly select multiple pages from pdf
Right now only one-by-one selection is possible in the thumbnails. Would be great if pages could be selected in batches, like photos in built-in Photos app.

GoodNotes allows you to select multiple pages from a PDF after tapping the “select” button in the upper right of the thumbnail view. You can also use two fingers two swipe over the thumbnails to select a range of pages.

After some searching in youtube, I understand what is meant by "tapping the “select” button in the upper right of the thumbnail view" from Mykhailo, as illustrated in the following youtube:

However, in my version of Goodnotes 6, the 'select' button at the upper right corner of the windowed thumbnail view becomes a 'Edit' button which does not allow selection of multiple pages. Please bring back the 'select' button to goodnotes 6 on MacOS. Thanks a lot!

No, unfortunately you cannot.
Using Goodnotes 5.9.94 on a Notebook (M1 Mac, MacOS 12.7) with an attached wacom tablet and an imported PDF file.
I guess the "select button" is supposed to be that checkmark encircled by a dashed line (note to the side: popup-messages to name the function that is hidden behind the fancy icons would _really_ help improving the UX).
Nothing works to select even one page. Instead, the first page is automatically selected.
After that neither clicking nor swiping with any number of fingers nor click-dragging nor clicking with the stylus nor all of the beforementioned with [CMD] or [Shift] held down lets me select another page let alone multiple pages.So the only way to delete multiple pages from a document is to delete them one by one.
That is not very user-friendly.
