To use Goodnotes in a company i need the opportunaty to share complete folders with all the documents and folders underneath. Than everyone would have the same structure, i clouldn‘t forget to share new docs and i wouldn‘t have to share hundreds of docs at the beginning. This is a total dealbreaker for me.

I completely agree!
This feature would be very helpful for me. Being able to share entire folders with the team and get notifications when someone makes changes its a must!
COME ON :)

Great suggestion! Sharing folders with team members would really improve collaboration. By the way, if you enjoy strategy and creativity, you might want to check out this pokemon team builder at https://buildpokemonteam.com/

This would be helpful for a variety of contexts. For example, I use Goodnotes for digital worksheets for my special needs child. (Best app in my opinion for this purpose) I want to be able to have them access on their own device the same folders I have set up for them on my device. I use my device to manage instead of theirs since their device travels with them to grandparents’. That way any adult who is working with my child can use my child’s iPad or laptop if I’m using mine or if my child is visiting and I can manage/create/ or delete finished when my child is visiting grandparents’.

Hi GoodNotes Team,

I want to start by saying how much I love GoodNotes. The writing experience is unmatched, and it’s been my go-to app for teaching. My students love how clean and organized the notes look, and I love how natural it feels to use.

But here’s the problem: as a teacher, I need to be able to share my notes with students in a view-only mode that auto-updates. Right now, my only options are:

Exporting PDFs daily (which is too time-consuming across multiple classes), or

Sharing collaboration links (which let students edit — not workable in a classroom).

Because of this limitation, I can’t continue using GoodNotes for teaching, even though I’d rather stay. Other apps (like Notability and Nebo) already allow either auto-backup to a cloud folder or publish-to-web links where students can always see the latest version but can’t edit.

Please know: I’m not leaving because I don’t love your app. I’m leaving because this one missing feature makes it impossible for me to use GoodNotes in my classroom. If view-only live sharing ever comes to GoodNotes, I’ll be the first one back.

Thank you for all the work you put into making GoodNotes so great. I hope you’ll consider teachers like me who want to keep using it, but need that one extra feature to make it work in real classrooms.

Sincerely,
A Teacher Who Really Wants to Sta

I did not realize that sharing a link with my students would enable them to edit my documents. I JUST WANT THEM TO SEE THEM! saving them to pdf and then changing my website every day for 4 classes is a no go for me. I will be cancelling my subscription and looking for something else.

It would be really helpful if we had the option to share folders with our partners—like for shopping lists, to-do lists, or other shared tasks. Being able to collaborate like that would make things so much easier and more organized. Just a thought!

Please add this!

Same, same... just had a horrible incident with yr 7 students editing the screen then not being able to verify the student that was doing it. I have an idea... but cannot use as evidence. please help!

Actually, I thought if we had an option to we can share our folder with our partners. It would be really nice for example. Something like shopping list or to-do list or anything like this if we would have an option like this it would be really amazing.

This was a function available in Goodnotes 5 however it has sadly been removed. Being able to share a folder with collaborators allows users to immediately share new documents with people that have access to that folder, rather than having to share each individual document! Please bring this function back!

Need this function!!! My family and I have several iPads, and we can only share individual notes for our children to do homework. I hope to be able to share all the notes in a folder with him.

My college teacher uses GoodNotes live in class. It would be nice if he could share his notes live with the class in a view only-manner, but allowing us students to take notes locally without affecting his document.

Super critical!

This would really help us for our work.

Yes! This should be a critical next step for GoodNotes to add! We use the collaborator feature with discipleship documents for each person within our Church. It would save so much time to house all of these documents under one shared file RATHER than doing it document by document.

I currently use this feature extensively on Notability and its lack on Goodnotes is the only thing stopping me from switching.

As a teacher it’s just too much work to convert to PDF, then share with students every time I make an edit, or complete another worked example. Whereas with this feature you just update the link (or it syncs in real time) and the students hit refresh on the same link.

This will help our team collaborate on multiple files without having to share every file individually. And make it so when the owner uploads a new PDF or note to the "shared folder" then the entire team has access to the new file

share a folder and everything in it, plus enable viewing on web too. this would solve my problem of not being able to use cross syncing in windows and ipad.
