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.

That would really be a damn good feature, sometimes the templates just aren't enough and another sheet interrupts the flow of ideas.

Here is a potential solution for this problem:

This is such a lame excuse for not implementing this. If your designers can’t find a way to elegantly add this feature, please consider hiring new ones. Here are a few suggestions to help you:
1. Create a new object that isn’t a notebook or a page and is an infinite page. You can even call it a canvas.
2. Or make it so that a notebook can hold pages of multiple sizes, one being infinite. If the book analogy stops working, just call it a folder.
If you can’t lake the pages infinite for performance reasons, then at least enable larger page sizes.
Now why is infinite canvas important ? When you’re thinking about something, you want all your thinking to be connected and visible, not broken down into pages. Otherwise your thoughts are broken down as well. -

I don’t want to do “this instead” I want to have the choice between infinite or individual pages. Please.

Okay, so under your framework, can we add "pages" to all direction to mimic infinite page?

In true sense having infinite paper is the hallmark of digital notebook.
We people don't ask for any luxury or complicated feature, many free application serve it , so it's not impossible to do ; what is stopping you after so many suggestion/request ? -

Why bring the limitations of paper to another medium that does not share these constraints? Here is a simple use case: I’d be brainstorming a topic, then run out of space. It would be nice to just be able to continue around, instead of another page which breaks the continuity of thought (having the rest of your thinking in front of your eyes really helps).

They gotta fix their framework then because its pathetic that I can't drag an item from one page to another.

I don't see what the length of a page has to do with all the things you have listed.
I think you should be able to keep a page as an individual file, but still change the length of it. Why not?I mean pages of individual length are a major advantage for using a digital note-taking app.
It is really a huge disadvantage that I have to create a new page not because I am working on a new topic/theme but just because GoodNotes limits the length of a page. This is really disturbing my workflow and it always feels unnatural.
Scrolling horizontally should go to the next page, but scrolling vertically one should stay on the same page.Only for printing purposes the individual length of pages needs to be broken apart to fit physical pages.
If it is the framework that is the limit, the GoodNotes-team should really think about changing the framework, because clearly it is not adequate for a full-fledged digital note-taking app.

Why oh why does a new page not just automatically appear when you reach the bottom of your sheet, or do you think notes for meetings or study are only one page long

DANI commented
salve non si trova opzione/metodo per incollare un testo "lungo" e Goodnotes in automatico creare le relative pagine necessarie ?
grazie mille

"Since each page is an individual file, a truly infinite sheet is not feasible " - why not provide an "infinite" page type (along with A4, etc.)

I was looking to move from Notability to Goodnotes. I tested a bunch of test files and was happy. Then I go to get my first most important note from Notability and go paste the long text into the first note for Goodnotes and then find that my text is in a box that keeps on going paste the bottom of the page break. I cannot see the text or get to it, it doesn't scroll or anything. Then I am like surely my first attempt can't be the limit, they must have a way to deal with this, like get rid of page break. Then I see this. REALLY GUYS a long text?? Thats where you tool fails? Of all the hard stuff to deal with in software and its a long pasted text box that you cannot handle? I think you guys need a new manager to come over and tell you what to do if you cannot handle long text in a note taking apps. I saw your excuse. Its unacceptable. Digital has advantages over paper and don't limit a digital implementation to match an analog. I guess I am done using Goodnotes. Its impossible to not have long pasted text from other apps. And really? No record audio button? Two things that could be fixed in 1 day. Unacceptable no matter how good the other stuff is.

This is the only feature that I find lacking. I've tried concepts but it's not simple. Please add the ability to work on an infinite canvas.

Alejandro commented
the option to create an expandable (inifinite) canvas to expand. certanly usefull when doing "mind maps and others" as one page is very limited and using muktiple pages loses its sense.
(ie: add one single infinite expandable page )
thank

Why not just have a separate template that allows for an infinite sheet? Then the page format doesn't have to be reformatted, there just exists an alternative option in the template selection.

I would like to see a endless page similar to how one onenote is setup in the fact that you can have one endless canvas page. Adding as much information as you wanted without ever be hinder by the edge of the page.

Or maybe as long as the blank page you are writing on is the last page in a notebook or note; have the app add a new page automatically as long as you add content to the page. And include this as a toggle switch in the settings in addition to preseting how many pages you want in your note for those who may want to manually add pages. The current implementation of adding a page one at a time kinda breaks your flow of note taking because you have to pause to swipe to add a page.
One last thing i wish i could lock the zoom level of a page so that I avoid accidentally zooming in or out of a page with my palm

The workaround offered by Goodnotes is a good suggestion, I guess. I think the ability to have infinite scroll is still pretty critical since there are a lot of users who are having to export and to an assume page size. Seems like a functionality toggle.
