Send Images Forward or Backward
I wish we had the ability to change the order of images, like in Microsoft Word. Instead of having to paste images in a certain order for the correct one to be on top, I wish we could click the image and either send it forward or backward.

The following topics discuss issues related to layers, transparency, locking, merging, grouping, object order, visibility, and rearranging—concerns that would be addressed if GoodNotes introduced a new layers function.
If we all vote for the most popular topic, we could reach a total of 3,150 votes for layers! By standing together, we have a stronger chance of getting this highly requested feature. With GoodNotes in beta and updating the app, now is the ideal time to vote.

Firstly, Thank you @Brooke for taking the time to gather and post all the threads of similar nature. I’m voting on them all!
The issue for me:
Text boxes (that have to be placed and then annotated) often shift while using gestures; which cause annotations, such as highlighted text, to be in the wrong places. Not only is it annoying but if it’s not caught straight away, can be problematic. Layers or the ability to lock items in place would solve this.I ought to mention that having a text box deselected from the lasso tool does not always work. If I tap on the text box alone, I can still move it.

There is now "send to back" & "bring to front", but there is NO "bring forward" ◀−−− & NO "send backward" ◀−−− each of these would move the selection 1 layer forward or 1 layer backward at a time, not send them many many layers allllll the way to the very back or alllllll the way to the very front.
