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.

The way a page moves from left to right when I’m trying to scroll through pages quickly is frustrating. I wish that the page would be centered and still (like Notability), not moving left and right.

In response to the moderator's comment; This seems easy enough to do if you create a squared expansion to every demand to expand beyond the present page.
For instance, one would start with a single page, then go to 2x2 = 4 pages, and if you are presently required to assign 4 files (one to each page), then they could coded to appear to the user as a single page. This would continue on 3x3=9 pages for each expansion beyond the presently viewed limit.
This could even be done 1x1 If the user expands space on the right, add a page as if it were horizontally scrolled. IF the user expands space below, THEN add a page file below and set it as linked to the page above.

I agree with the infinite idea. Seems it could be incorporated even with single page file format. I need to be able to insert new content into the middle of an existing page and have the existing content automatically reorder and “create “ a new page if need be to accommodate the space needed for the newly inserted content without having to take the time to cut/paste existing content to a new page. I need the existing content to automatically scroll over to a newly automatically created new page.

You can just just paged one after another and without any space between them, so it will be seen as infinity sheet and also an option to draw right on the both pages continuously without breaking, so we can draw some graphs in the both page and if we see the both page and one after another it will be infinity sheet.

Infinite canvas with pages like OmniGraffle. You can draw on an infinite canvas and then print out pages in case you needed to put it up on a wall or put into a presentation.

Consider the app is used on a mobile device, to support a very long page is a user-friendly feature. It is not convenient to taking notes on a tiny page with Apple Pencil.

Yes!

I also prefer individual pages over an infinite sheet and would prefer an option if it is implemented
-
Rodrigo commented
Could still handle as individual pages but having an option to scroll down just viewing a dotted line(for example), showing where the next page begin.
Not forcing the user to see both pages individually. -
Olivier James Toussaint commented
Just add an option to automatically create a new page when start writing on the current page, so combined with the vertical mode, it will be like an infinite scrolling... (I think that will work with the current framework)

I specifically use GoodNotes because it DOESNT do this. I would hate it if it had it forced, so preferably if you go this route, make it an option?

Please include this feature. True infinite sheets are a game changer for note taking.

Please implement infinite sheets, and if the problem is the management of each page as a file then use one and manage it as Excel does!
If you need to print it, then you just select how much you want to fit in one page. ie making squares -

Hi GoodNotes, even though you added the scrolling direction to "vertical", it doesn't change the need for an infinitely long sheet. Especially since you're saying it's a file on its own... why don't you just support such a kind of file. I don't need to export it to other apps.... it would be comfortable to sit in a meeting and just write down stuff that's being said or stuff that's in my mind without the need/hassle of a new page...

Exactly!
I am trying to take notes on a mobile app screen flow and I could only fit 5 screens.
I can think of many solutions to this problem but the simplest solution is infinitely long sheets, the only reason I am using good notes instead any other note taking apps is the notepad feature and the dotted paper. -
Alex commented
There already exists the vertical scrolling and basically that gives you infinite scrolling after creating the next page without worries.
For pasting text longer than one page then this is a problem, and should be solved -

This is killer feature! infinite canvas is super useful for idea thinking

Dear Goodnotes, infinately long sheet! You are not listening to your customers are you? Do you have someone in a position of authority who has stubbornly refuses to have an infinately long page like apple notes or notability, if so, fire them!

tracer commented
would prefer it as an option. Like a notebook with infinitely long sheets and others without

I cannot use goodness 5. Infinate scrolling is essential to my journaling and general notetaking. Its hard to understand how a leading contendor for a notetaking app does not have this. Please fix it.
