"POST-IT TABS"
One of the major issues in relation to using a digital file, compared to a traditional paper file is that in a paper file you can attach "post-its" to relevant pages which you can then refer to when you are using that file. This is an essential tool for lawyers, for example. So that, if you are referring to a bundle of files, you can have them in front of you where you can see the protruding tabs and refer to them immediately. The visualisation of the tabs – allows for easy access to the relevant page.
Whilst good notes allows you to tab pages – obviously – there are physical differences between hard paper and electronic paper.
However, would it be possible for good notes to try and emulate this by doing the following:
- You have the option of attaching a coloured side tab to the relevant pages;
- You then have the option of "see side tabs"
- When you press that option, the tabbed pages, with their tabs, all shrink slightly and move to the left – allowing you to see the tabs. Then, you can press the tab which opens the page – similar to how this would work in hardcopy.
I attach a photograph by way of example.
Perhaps, something like this could be considered.
Many thanks for taking the time to consider this idea.
Kind regards,

I agree this would be a good add on. Also like the ability for text shortcut recognition for commonly written words, like text expansion software.

I agree this is a much needed function. Also add a tab for easy overview on the notes so that when you press on the note it takes you directly that page.

You can do this already by saving an image of a sticky note to your photos and then adding the image to the document.

Having stickies that can be pasted on pages - particularly PDFs - would be fantastic. Notes could be made then moved around the page. The more these echo real-life stickies, the better.
(The ability to export notes made on stickies would also be most welcome.)

Agree, or have the ability to have a white background when annotating a .pdf.

Sticky notes are a good idea. Saves paper space, like in iBooks.

A comment box that minimizes while leaving an icon that shows there is a comment. The "post-it" should open on click to show the entire comment.

Especially in PDF-files it would be useful to be able to leave small comments you don't see (Like Adobe comment function). You could add a comment like a post-it which only can be seen if it you actually click onit. If you don't click it's just a little symbol next to the point you added the comment. It's especially useful when you have a lot of text in a document and there is not enough space between the lines to add all the notes.

I often comment with my pen on existing PDF and sometimes I have the problem that there's no enough space on the margin to write. So it would be useful if I could add an iconizable post it to write on, with keyboard or pen
