1. OneDrive Sync & Backup

   Please can we have the ability to pull in documents (word, excel,PowerPoint, pdfs, images, videos) directly from OneDrive.

   It would be great if these could be live documents with the option to refresh them. If we were able to push notations on PDFs back it would be amazballs.

3. iCloud Drive sync

   Have GoodNotes auto sync into iCloud drive similar to how it can sync for Google Drive. I'd like for my notes to be accessible through the apple files app, since it's so commonly used when using Apple devices.

4. [Toolbar] Make the New Floating Toolbar Optional / Revert to Old Toolbar

   The latest update introduced an obnoxious and distracting floating toolbar below the primary toolbar, taking up more space and reducing the amount of room there is to actually write on the document. Further, it’s shorter in width, so you have to scroll more to find different highlighter colors, pen options, etc.

   The new toolbar offers LESS functionality than before and I didn’t see anyone complaining or asking for it to be overhauled for everyone. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. Please introduce a toggle where you can choose whether you want this new toolbar or the old one, as it’s fine if it’s an option but the old toolbar that a lot of people liked should also be an option still.

8. Auto-refine Handwriting

   I’d like to suggest that GoodNotes add an auto-refine or handwriting smoothing feature that subtly corrects small imperfections in handwriting without changing the user’s natural writing style.

   Currently, when writing with the Apple Pencil using the ballpoint pen, I’ve noticed that the strokes sometimes add unwanted flicks or extra lines at the end of letters, which makes the handwriting look less clean and natural, this is extremely irratating as on other app my handwriting doesnt appear to be like that. Even with the stability setting at zero, it still happens, and it disrupts the flow of writing, especially for users who write quickly or use cursive.

   An auto-refine option (or an improved stabilization engine) could help automatically clean up these flicks and overlines while keeping the handwriting authentic and responsive.

   It would be great if this feature could be adjustable, so users could choose how much correction or refinement is applied depending on their writing style.

9. [Palm Gestures] Disable Palm Gestures

   Please introduce the possibility of palm gesture removal since the palm detection doesn't work properly when the iPad is used horizontally.
   When we write on an imported picture, every time the palm touches the screen, GoodNotes switches to the lasso tool, and it's kinda annoying.
   This feature is always on even if the iPad settings say to ignore the palm.

10. Folder Sharing

    Feature Request: Shared Folder Collaboration with Real-Time Updates

    Dear GoodNotes Team,

    I am a teacher who relies on GoodNotes daily for lesson planning, organizing resources, and collaborating with colleagues. While I truly appreciate the powerful tools GoodNotes offers for handwriting and annotation with the Apple Pencil, there is one feature that would greatly improve collaboration for educators:

    The ability to share entire folders with colleagues so that multiple users can:

    Add new documents to a shared folder.

    Write on and annotate shared documents using the Apple Pencil.

    View and access changes in real time, including edits, new notes, or added files.

    Currently, we can share individual documents, but the inability to collaborate across entire folders makes it difficult to manage shared lesson plans, student resources, and collaborative projects efficiently.

    Providing folder-level sharing with real-time updates would make GoodNotes an indispensable tool for teams of teachers who need to work together seamlessly. This feature would allow us to better serve our students and streamline collaboration across classrooms.

    Thank you for considering this request. Many educators would greatly benefit from these enhancements, and we would be excited to see GoodNotes continue leading the way in digital learning tools.

    Sincerely,
    Desperate Teacher

11. Make the tabs pinnable

    I want to make the tabs pinnable, shrinking them into small icons in the corner. It prevents clutter but keeps them handy, since I use them too often to close or scroll for finding them every time.

16. Page Cropping / Trimming

    I would like to have a feature that allows users to crop or trim pages to remove unnecessary areas and view documents in a cleaner format within GoodNotes.

    Currently, only objects such as images can be cropped, but there is no way to crop the actual page area itself. Adding a page cropping feature would greatly improve usability, especially when working with scanned documents or PDFs that include unnecessary margins.

    Page Cropping Using the Lasso Tool
    (Apply to: Current Page / Selected Pages / All Pages)

    Crop current page only

    Keep only the area selected with the Lasso Tool and remove everything outside the selection (current page only).

    Crop all pages to the same size

    When all pages have the same layout and unnecessary margins are identical, keep only the Lasso-selected area and remove the rest, applying the same crop to all pages.

    Erase only the Lasso-selected area (current page only)

    Remove only the selected area, while preserving all other parts of the page (current page only).

    Erase the same selected area across all pages

    When the unnecessary area is identical in size and position across pages, remove only the Lasso-selected area while preserving the rest, applied to all pages.

    Page Cropping via Page Layout (More Options / “⋯” Menu)
    (Apply to: Current Page / Selected Pages / All Pages)

    Crop pages by manually adjusting the crop size or by entering precise X and Y values (width/height or margins) in a dedicated input panel.

    The crop settings should be applicable to:

    Current page only

    Selected pages

    All pages in the document

17. [New languages] Arabic

    The application currently faces challenges in providing smooth translations of text. Regrettably, I require the translation feature for several slides. Therefore, I will need to transfer the slides and certain texts to an alternative application in order to facilitate translation. I sincerely hope that the translation functionality will improve in the near future, with the inclusion of the Arabic language as well.

20. [New tool] 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:

    1. You have the option of attaching a coloured side tab to the relevant pages;
    2. You then have the option of "see side tabs"
    3. 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,

    Asim
