Infinite Canvas
The biggest pro of digital note taking is the boundaries of traditional one and paper that it breaks.
Studies have shown that learning efficiency and understanding of a subject is increased by higher order learning and mind mapping. For these techniques, an infinite canvas is needed.
It would be highly appreciated if this function would be added.
Thank you.
Thanks for your suggestions and for voting for Infinite Canvas!
We're excited to share that with the September update, this feature is now available as Whiteboard, a new document type. Make sure your app is updated to the latest version to access it.
Here are more details on how Whiteboard works: https://support.goodnotes.com/hc/en-us/articles/13693350308751-Whiteboard#h_01K4CHGTANCEENAPYENCYEYS68

Unfortunately the app is completely useless to me without this feature.
As sad as it sounds even the basic Notes app which preinstalled on the iPad has infinite pages by default, while GoodeNotes does not.
When taking notes and especially when brainstorming it is just so uncomfortable to always have to start a new page. -

I had this problem too, but then I created a custom template based on a page that was 85"x110". The diagram was then shrunk down to a small fraction of the page.

I would give ALL my votes to this!!!! baffles me that you don't have this. I actually bought the app thinking that this was a standard feature!!!! Kind of heartbreaking that this isn't even in their plans

This would be a very-very useful feature!!!! I write notes and often fill the page, and its quite annoying to have to add another page; If the pages were scaled automatically to your needs this would make note taking more efficient. Honestly, this is a no brainer feature!

René Bazan nailed it. If there are going to be infinite sheets, we need to be able to select a page size for potential printing (real world or .pdf) so that notes aren't inappropriately split.

I would love infinite scrolling too! One could add lines to divide the infinite roll into A4(or another size)-pages to be able to print notes or to export them as PDF.
Also, only as an option. -

Actual the size of the paper is fixed.
But nevertheless that I use A0 I am limited during Brainstorming and other creative workshops. Therefore I must use another tool (Zoomnotes). But this is not helpful at all to switch from tool to tool.
Is there a chance in the near future to implement a more to enlarge the size of the paper endless? -

Agree, only as an option because not everyone would want this. I like my notes to be the same as if I wrote the on an 8.5 x 11 inch paper. Makes printing them much easier.

Please only as an option, not default. It’s useful to have paper sizing fir those of us who like to or need to print things.

Would prefer this to be an option, not the default. In most of my use cases (calculations) I still need to present the output in hardcopy. The ability to paginate immediately prior to exporting could potentially be a more productive alternative for me (would need to try it!) that would allow this.

Would love this for university because we have still this one guy with his endless roll for the overhead-projector. This feature would arm me equally.

Notability already does this. Swiping isn't efficient

This would be very helpful when one wants to paste a copied page that is longer than the prescribed page.

It need not truly be an infinite sheet (it's not infinite in OneNote either). Just that the pages would "connect" on their short edge, with the ability to scroll continuously instead of scrolling complete pages at once.

I agree that continuous pages are an essential feature (as an option). Page breaks are terrible when you give a lecture using GoodNotes. But there should be a possibility to insert space later, and to insert page breaks for printing.

Not take away, but have the option would nice!
I like sth. similar to Microsoft Word: You can see the end and beginning of a page and you can clearly see a page, but you can still see what's at the end of the previous page. indispensable if you're doing some math using goodnotes! -

The restriction is the main reason I started using GoodNotes. Please don't take away the pages!

I am still hoping that this will become a priority for Goodnotes.
