(thinking…)

Implement a splitscreen option.

The splitscreens option allows the user to see two pages of one document at once. With this option the user can open an informative pdf on the one side while taking notes on a different sheet on the other side.

We’re excited to announce that we have completed this feature. It is now available in the update GoodNotes 5.3 for iPadOS (13.1).

With the update, we added full support for iPadOS’ multiple windows. It lets you do much more than viewing two documents side by side. To read everything you need to know about opening multiple documents, please visit goodnotes.com/ipad-os.

How to open a new window:

You can now open GoodNotes in multiple windows to view two documents side by side, view two pages of the same document in Split View, or pair it with other apps in spaces across your entire system. To open a new window, drag any of the elements listed below to the side of your screen:

- the app icon from the dock
- documents from the library
- folders from the library
- individual pages from the document thumbnail view
- tabs from the tab-bar

You can also use the buttons in the library action menu or from the tab-bar to open a new window.

    This feature is a necessity. Please add it.

  • Anonymous commented  ·   ·  Report

    Yes please!!! Allowing users to view two pages at the same time makes it easier for us who use to bullet journal!

  • Will commented  ·   ·  Report

    I would love this feature! It would make it easy to open up a book on one page and your notes on another. Rather than using a separate application to open up my book and use goodnotes for my notes.

    Posted in 2014 but nothing happens so far -__-

    This option would be extremely helpful as I often cut and paste portions of pdfs from one notebook into the notebook I am taking notes on that pdf in.

  • Glynn. commented  ·   ·  Report

    WHY?

    Notes are defined by
    - their content (excellent implementation exists)
    - their content based filing (position in "content cloud" - sufficient implementation exists)
    - the point in time they were created (no implementation exists).

    Introducing calendar integration would for example allow for
    - management of project follow-ups
    - time-based navigation within large sets of notes
    - manage a journal

    HOW?

    I'd suggest 3 features:

    - Import or create calendar event
    A calendar event can be imported from Apple calendar or created directly from within GoodNotes. The calendar event object can be positioned anywhere on a page. It looks like a textbox, showing a calendar symbol in the iOS calendar's color, date, time, title, location. By tapping on it, a context menu opens, allowing you to edit the event or jump to calendar app for management.

    - Open GoodNotes from Calendar app
    From Calendar app, you can jump into the corresponding position of a notebook by use of an app extension. If no corresponding GoodNotes calendar event object exists, GoodNotes asks you if you would like to append a new page to an existing notebook or to create a new notebook.

    - Show all Calendar events in a notebook
    When working in a notebook, there's a new calendar tool in the toolbar. When tapping on it, a list opens showing all calendar objects of that notebook. When choosing one of the entries, the corresponding page (where the calendar object is located) is opened.

    I support this. Indeed, I desparately need this. This is there in notability.
