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.

Absolutely . This would be fantastic feature. Would make goodnotes a clear winner toward competition. I switch between goodnotes and concept for this feature.

I too would like to work with an infinite canvas. I agree with the user who mentioned the unwanted breakdown of a train of thought. My notes often combine text and graphical elements / diagrams, and I rarely can predict how they will evolve re: shape and size. Having an infinite canvas would be great. Remember this? "Since random access memory is restricted to 640K, multitasking and graphical user interfaces are not feasible with the current framework."

please, an infinite canvas would be critical to my studying.
you could add a new type of file, instead of a notebook just an infinite canvas or "project". it is so fundamental for proper mindmapping and brainstorm.
thank you :) -

I don’t particularly like the feature of pulling up to get a new page

In 2023, there are many more infinite canvas software, such as hepatabase, obsidian, and logseq, but they do not have such mature handwriting technology as goodnotes. Maybe we can consider adding a function to create infinite canvas while retaining the current framework. Or is it a good way to simply re-create a software that focuses on handwriting infinite canvas?

It is insane that this isn't already a feature. If having discrete pages is the limiting factor, it seems like the obvious solution would be to have an infinite grid of pages displayed with zero gaps between them, then only the "pages"where the user has written something would be saved to the notebook. This may have been too hardware intensive once upon a time, but there is no excuse with modern tablets

If you updated your iOS to the newest version just use Freeform! thats what I've been doing at least

Hello
Have to develop an entire plot of screenwriting and need infinite space e.g. to the right side.

At the moment (see Screenshot) the shown side is limited…
Thanks for further development.

I end up using Microsoft OneNote more, even thought my handwriting looks better in GoodNotes. I like to draw diagrams and be messy generally. Also, I have an iPad mini and infinite canvas is helpful. I'd still allow people to chose to have a page limit in case they want to print

Hello, I really would like to have this feature too.. GoodNotes has by far the best drawing/writing experience in comparison to the other tools I tried, the only thing that is missing is zoom + infinite canvas. I am a developer, and I am using canvas tools for drawing in workshops and meetings. I really need to have more place on one page and the possibility of zooming out/in and drawing in the zoomed areas. Without this I am forced to use OneNote, which has a buggy drawing/shaping/writing experience.

The ability to make a page within a document extend infinitely beyond the normal page size limits. For note pages in documents that the intention is to only use it on the computer to allow information pages or pictures that are long without separating it into multiple pages.

1. pls add INFINITE canvas template for mind map creators
2. Allow upload pdf in INFINITE canvas template, and able to modify individual / selected / whole pdf pages (rotate, reduce size, move it to everywhere)

This thing could save our time. If they provide this thing I will surely buy it to store the data of my website https://cloptoncapital.com/.

The gaps between pages can still be removed and support for drawing between two pages is not impossible, please make this happen

James commented
Yeah, I’d love to have the option of continuous scroll or pages. Kind of shocked this hasn’t been sorted out yet.
-
Walter Smith commented
I understand why the current framework requires separate pages. However, it seems like it would be easy to eliminate (or minimize) the displayed gaps between pages, which would give essentially the same functionality as infinite paper.

Just bought it and it surprised me that an infinite canvas was not available.
The rest of the app works correctly but I'm not sure I would have bought it if I knew I was restricted to only use portrait/landscape modes :(From the comments I guess this will never happen?

Super lame workaround! I think you can still do continuous typing at the least on a page without inserting a text box each page. It would really be great to ditch Notability altogether because the handwriting feature of Good Notes is superior to Notability. Maybe a continuous typing tool can be added alongside pen tool, erase tool, etc. This typing tool can recognize the lines on the paper and automatically align the text along them, or if the paper style is dotted, set a default line spacing and make margins automatic on the page.
MAKE THIS HAPPEN! 🙏🏻

Another user who loves Goodnotes would like to tell you how much we would love to have an infinite canvas. Please Goodnotes team, make it happen! Thank you!
Also, would like to emphasize, that the first comment for this request was from 2016...... yet I am still here leaving a comment to voice my opinion.
