Adding a lock/set object feature
Here’s a suggestion- addition of a feature like “lock/set” where we can lock an object in place on a page, unless it’s unlocked, it can’t be edited. I would love this when I’m writing notes during lecture and create a highlighted text box using shape tool where we get a border+faded shape inside. If I erase something inside it, the highlighted part gets erased totally ]. Adding a lock function would also work great on stickers and photos, so they wont move around using lasso tool unless unlocked.

I’m an elementary art teacher. I made my planbook in Goodnotes. I put my seating charts in there- they are pdf docs with photos of the kids. Keep in mind I have 22 classes. I often have to modify those seating charts. It’s very clunky to import them as a new page every time. That takes multiple steps and I would love to crop the image- also I want to keep the notes, so I’d rather just drop it in as an image, crop it and put it under the notes. But then I have to modify my lasso tool to not grab images if I need to move the text. If I could lock it instead- Game Changer 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 nly is it annoying but if it’s not caught straight away, can be problematic.
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.

Good idea to highlight the necessity and that this topic has already appeared so many times.
However, I think it should be the responsibility of the Goodnotes team to see during the review process that so many topics refer to the same request and therefore implement it.
