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.

I'm a product manager and use Goodnotes to record daily check-in sessions. Infinite pages would be a game changer as I could then have a continuation/thread of all notes taken from these sessions within the relevant product notebook. The only thing I can do right now is to have a dedicated notebook for the check-in sessions which forces the notes to be separated from other product related notes taken thought the day or to have separate pages for each check-in which is awkward and messy.

Please bring in infinity page scroll. GoodNotes users are being deprived of such logical features. Just the “different than Notability “ reasoning doesn’t cut the ice.
Send the guy who proposed the idea of withholding infinity scroll to Himalayas for introspection. I won’t charge for suggesting alternative place ;)

What if every user that upvoted (1117) donates $1? Would you consider adding this feature to the GoodNotes app?
It is honestly an opportunity:
+ I can well imagine how many Notability users would switch to GoodNotes if this feature is added. That app has 20k ratings -> many users ;)
+ You can get a hold of new users during this digitalisation wave set by Coronavirus
Don't wait until it's too late!

While this seems difficult, I feel like the best workaround may be to offer another type of notebook altogether that is just one sheet that can expand as much as possible, not allowing any template changes in that sheet.
I love GoodNotes but honestly, this might make me switch to Noteability even though GN is better in every other aspect.
I'm willing to put down $200 to the charity of your choosing if this is implemented by September start (September 1, 2020).

but they could think of a separate model. that exports png or jpg.
as well as times the option to choose vertical, horizontal file, we could have infinities.
knowing that he would not export individually.
honestly you don't even have to expire. but it is extremely important for us to be able to put content from a material or subject within the same information and research area. put a notice explaining the file export limitations, but having that option would be essential -

I can’t believe this is still not fixed. Because of this, an otherwise great app is unusable for me.

Cant we extent the artboard as you write/draw? And you can do that a few times until the page is X/twice as long? Each time you get a warning too (phrased in a positive tone) so you know to wrap up your page soon.
One of the limitations of physical paper is its vertical height is restricted, which is incredibly frustrating on a daily scale to most people who draw/diagram... why must we face the same ridiculous limitation in a virtual world.
It doesn't need to be infinite... but give a something to work with.
Have a standard artboard as twice the length with half hidden by default. then it doesn't break your code.
This is really frustrating, think outside of the box.

This is a nice update, but there's a some room for improvement. It would be better if there was the "illusion" of continuous scrolling. Now when you vertically scroll, it's very clear you're changing notes. It's especially noticeable if you use a black background on your notes. What we need is a smooth transition between the two notes.

Hi, for technical reasons you cannot implement infinite canvas.
Could you implement a canvas type of a fixed size (a4 for example), that allows the user to take notes on an infinite area, but then scales the note to a fixed template once done?

This feature is very important imho. (especially for graphing)

I cut and paste quite a bit of emails and other information sources in my work flow, and to have the information abruptly cut off at the bottom of the page is a deal breaker. Please include an option for auto creating new pages as you go past the current one or implement an infinity page template.

Some alternatives that might help:
- Offer special templates with infinitely long pages
- Add an option - add to automatically add a new page when you approach within "X" of a page end.
- ...Some creativity would go along way.
Perhaps its time to try Notability or OneNote.
Disappointed in Ottawa

I’ve used Notability for the past couple of years and thought I would give GoodNotes 5 a try. I love the interface of GoodNotes but I spent well over an hour trying to to figure out if there is a way to create infinite pages like you can in Notabilty. I finally gave up and went back to using Notability. Allowing text to just fall off the page rather than create a new page within the same document is such a a basic feature, I can’t believe the development team overlooked this. I’m going back to Notability and hoping I can get a refund.

Could you guys pls add the ability to have a single infinite note. I am using apple notes and I have found it very annoying to have add a new page and if there is, any text it gets cut off. something small but very annoying.

Infinite canvas would be awesome. In my opinion this is one of the biggest advantages of digital note taking. You can arrange all your ideas in one document. This is where creativity has no regulations! Would appreciate this feature a lot!

If you don't mind me saying, this is more of a lack of coding creativity problem then a feasibility problem, I do software myself and I could easily think of several solutions, first and foremost it would be easiest to simply have a grid of pages (or files) that all look like one (continuous) page that are only superficial until the user writes inside of one of the grid sections then a file would be created for that grid space and if they draw outside that square then it would simply create more files on the spot. This certainly isn't the most optimal solution but it would be very easy to institute and given that over 1000 of your users have come to this page alone to request this, this seems simply unreasonable that this functionality haven't been added yet.

I really want this as well. It sucks to run out of horizontal space - especially when doing free-form note taking + diagrams, and you end up with pieces of diagrams/charts in different pages...

Im sorry but Im so happy that they dont have pages that are infinitely long. This would be extremely annoying and its the exact reason I dont use OneNote

I. I had the exact same problem. Having the ability to have an infinite page will be great.
2. Another great feature would be to be able to set reminders on you notes that alert you when the due date of an outcome has arrived.
