Sticky Notes
We would really like to make a sticky notes that moves with the text in it . The sticky note available now only lets you to write over it, but when you want to move it , only the sticker will move, or you should select all the text which may take the text under it also. So it is better to have like a really sticky note
Hello,
Sticky Notes are already available in Goodnotes as part of the September 2025 update. They’re currently offered as a separate tool, allowing you to:
— Choose any color from presets or your custom palette
— Add your name as a signature to a sticky note, useful when leaving comments and collaborating with others, as each contributor’s name will be visible
— Add text to the sticky note that moves together with it if you reposition the note
— Add and style text freely to suit your needs
— Include links inside sticky notes
— Collapse sticky notes to use them as comments
Try it out and share your feedback with us!

The same functionality that exists for linking inside of a textbox should exist within the sticky note function, but there is no "link" function when you select a word in a sticky note. I would love for that functionality to be added.

It would be great to have the option to move a sticky note off to the side in the grey area. Some docs that I edit using goodnotes don’t allow enough space to add a sticky note sticker to the page and write on top of it.

I am joining the many who have requested a sticky note feature, hoping that GoodNotes will consider this request.
I love how Goodnotes handles notebooks and flashcards so well, and I would like to be able to write sticky notes in GoodNotes. The template would be a stack of sticky notes that users "peel off" and place on other documents. Apple has something like this for their computers.
There could be a "bulletin board" where sticky notes could be placed if they aren't being placed on other documents. The board could work like notebook paper, and users would need to add new boards when the current one is filled with their sticky notes.
I want to point out that when I searched "sticky note" here, there were nearly 200 votes spanning 19 requests on the first search result page alone. There were at least 20 more result pages relating to adding sticky notes.
GoodNotes users are interested in and eager for this feature and have requested it since 2014.

In my online textbook we have sticky notes that when you press on it, it expends to reveal the sticky note you wrote and when you press it again it minimizes to a bubble to save space on the page. I would love to have this feature!!!

没用的,官方不会管的,都提过不止一次了,毛用没有!
它们坚持没个对象是单独的元素,不予组合是一直以来坚持的开发思路

Hi I’ve requested this before but I would just like to follow up regarding this. Could you please support on having a sticky note feature where in once I input words or handwritten notes on a sticky notes, it would come along with the sticky note every time sticky-note will be moved?

I think this would be nice to add to drawings fro extra info, but still be able to remove it once unneeded

Currently I have to lasso the sticky note and text, add this as a new object to the sticker collection, remove the original sticky note and text and move the newly created sticker again to the document. Now the text moves with the sticky note, but as soon as change the text I have to redo the whole proces. I want to be able to lasso any objects, hit a merge functionality and from now on it's processed as a single object.

It would be great if we could change the transparency of sticky notes so that we can make them more see-through or not depending on what we are putting a stickie on.

Text written on a sticky note should move with the sticky note and resize when the sticky note is resized.

Please add sticky notes. This would be extreme useful when marking up pdf’s of needing to emphasize something in my own hand written notes. Also when are these updates being done? It seems like some of these things have been requested for 2 years and still not done. Unfortunately if things can not be added, I will find another app that does have these features.

It would be nice to add a feature where you can add supplemental information but with a click it shows up without changing the page like a sticky note on your note. iBooks has this feature for ePub. It is extremely useful when wanting to add additional information without taking up space in your notes.

It would be awesome to be able to add tags to PDF's, as well as being able to search in the library for tags, titles, authors, etc.
Also, please add sticky note support!! Some of our annotations are too intensive/large to put in a simple text box!!!
