Glad to announce with the 6.3 update they added the ability to reorganize the toolbar, allowing to not only to hide unwanted icons but also it’s exact position on the line.

Yes!!! Personally, I use the stickers a lot so being able to pin stickers to the top instead of needing to click on stickers every time would be great. Having already customized tools instead of needing to specify between functions would be a game changer

Good notes 6 suggestion - More customizable toolbar: Being able to rearrange the features..

for example, I would like to be able to move the zoom writing feature closer to the pen-eraser-highlight- then (ideally) zoom ; as I use these features the most and it would be easier to switch between them without having to switch all the time.

Also the pen feature stays put on the left side while you swipe through the other features, it’d be nice to have the option to add the eraser feature (or whatever other feature) in the standstill side with the pen feature to make switching tools smoother

I AGREE!
I love the functionality of Drawboard tool. Add or remove any tool in any color and size.
If not, then a simpler addition would be moving color section below the tool section (create an additional bar - it shouldn't take much space) allowing for easy access to colors AND liberating the tool size subsection.
Sliding back and forth between sizes and colors is counterproductive.
Thank you!!!!

If there would be an option for a smaller favourites toolbar where we can select only the tools that we need. That would free up so much space on my iPad screen. I use a 10.5 inch iPad Pro. I would love to have a smaller tool bar when I am writing that would be very helpful. Even notability has opted for a smaller toolbar in their new updated UI.

--- The problem:

Transitioning from GoodNotes 5 to GoodNotes 6 was a positive change, yet adapting to the new interface and button positions takes time. The absence of a customizable toolbar layout does not allow tailoring the toolbar to personal productivity needs, especially when frequently switching between tools like the pen, zoom, and lasso.

--- Solution suggestion:

Introduce a feature that allows users to customize the arrangement and grouping of icons in the app's toolbar according to their preferences. This will enable users to organize the most frequently used tools closer together, making the workflow smoother and more efficient. Users will have the flexibility to tailor the toolbar layout to their specific needs, ensuring a seamless transition between versions and enhancing their overall experience.

--- Benefits:

* Enhanced User Workflow: Users can arrange icons based on their usage patterns, minimizing the need to swipe or navigate to access commonly used tools.
* Personalization: Empower users to create a personalized toolbar layout that aligns with their individual preferences and tasks.
* Increased Efficiency: Improved organization means users can quickly switch between frequently used tools without interruption, boosting productivity.
* Adaptable to Change: As the app evolves and new tools are introduced, users can easily adapt their toolbar layout to accommodate these changes.

--- Implementation ideas:

* Drag-and-Drop Interface: Drag-and-drop interface that allows users to effortlessly rearrange icons within the toolbar.
Tool Grouping: Enable users to group related tools together, ensuring a cohesive and logical organization.
* Default and Reset Options: Provide an option to revert to the default toolbar layout or reset the customization if needed.
* Remove Unused Tools: Include a feature that identifies tools which are accessible in the background but not visible on the screen due to customization. Allow users to remove such tools from the toolbar if they are not used frequently.
* Advanced Feature - multiple custom layouts: Allow users to save their custom toolbar layouts, making it easy to switch between different setups based on different tasks or preferences.

We should be able to hide unsuited tool in the toolbar. This would be especially useful for when I use GoodNotes in a split screen mode on my iPad Pro. It’s just simply not an efficient use of space to have so many tools that I never use and it makes the things I do use harder to access.

I think it would be a great idea to be able to make changes to the tool bar. I have a couple tools that I would never use so it would be nice to hide those.

Definitely need toolbar customization. Being able to add/remove unused tools would be perfect for managing the limited space. E.g. when editing two documents side by side, I would rather see my pen thickness options and a few colours as opposed to the shape, sticker, image, textbox, and pointer tools.

Also, if the pen size and colour scroll could be kept separate, that would be amazing. I.e. sliding the colour sections to the ones on the far right without the three pen thickness options being slid over and partially hidden.

I love this idea!

Very much needed

I would love a tool bar that is customizable (like most tool bars in MacOS or also some tool bars in iPadOS 16).

For example, I don't need the stickers-tool or shapes-tool and would rather hide them. At the same time I would love to have more than 3 color/thickness options in the tool bar.

Since every user has different needs, a customizable tool bar would probably be better than just adding more color and thickness options. It would improve the user experience since every user would be able to declutter the tool bar specific to his/her needs.

I would love this feature!

Nevertheless, thanks for your amazing work so far <3

Toolbar editor so you can remove certain tools to make room for more colors or line thicknesses or vice versa

A use a few colors when writing notes. It would be hugely helpful to have up to maybe 6 color dots. Please see sample.

There should be a way to toggle on and off the different icons we see in our toolbar at the top of GoodNotes. I never use the Text Box Style button and it is extremely inconvenient to have to keep maximizing my page when I want to change the Text Styling Default.

Please make it so that we can slide across the toolbar when some icons are hidden when viewing in multiple windows.

Also please add a paint bucket and pixel color picker eyedropper tool!

It would be so nice to be able to fill something in without having to have different colored layers when coloring with the highlighter!

Also please make it so that we can choose from premade shapes and be able to drag from the corners to resize however we want.

Please make it an option to "rotate" or "flip" things selected in the lasso tool. I can only change the orientation with the "resize" option but I do not want the text or picture to get bigger or smaller!

Please make it so that when we drag from one corner of a photo, it only increases in size in the direction we are dragging to. It is very annoying to want to have the photo a tad bit bigger to align perfectly but have both sides lengthen!

It would be nice if toolbar could be edited to rearrange the tools. I change ink color frequently, and it would be better (for me) to put those two tools (pen and ink color) closer together. As it is, I regularly hit one when I want the other - it’s just a muscle memory thing, and would be easier if I could place those tools closer together.

Hello, I have bought goodnotes 4 and 5. (I missed the notice about free upgrade. oh well) I find it the best overall of the various apple pencil compatible notes applications. I have purchased about three over time.

Anyway, with that said, one modification which I would love is the ability to customize the toolbar. For example, I never use the new laser pointer tool and very seldom use the camera or type writer text entry tool.

It would be nice if I could remove these tools and use the space for addional pen or highlight colors. I often write with a four color set of pencils just like in the old days where you could have a pen that actually clicks to make red, blue, black, green. I would love to be able to do that quickly in goodnotes.

Is this possible? If not, could it be submitted as a feature request?

Having the undo and redo buttons in the top right is good, but it'd be great if I could flip them to the left side since I'm right handed and my left hand is free.
