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.

Dual page view would add so much more functionality for this wonderful app. I would have thought it was a no brainer from the start especially on the iPad Pro! Please add.

Allowing users to use split screen to take notes on uploaded documents or past written pages would increase productivity.

I frequently use large .pdf files in which the Agenda is page one and I'm constantly flipping through the pages of supplements. Allowing the Agenda to sit on a split screen while I scroll through the body of the doc would be amazing.

Having to access 2 notes simultaneously would be helpful especially for references.

Still waiting. It’s been over a year :/ i prefer GoodNotes over notability in all other ways but this just slows me down so much when I’m studying... if I want to take notes from a book smoothly (with my process) I first read, mark it with the highlighter, then export it as a pdf and open it with another program in split screen.

Definitely add this please! Right now I’ve had to switch to a different app in order to create my study notes because split screen isnt offered with goodnotes ;(

To view page 3&4 for example of a document at once is something I’m really waiting for - for school I like to have the presentation page open on one side and write notes on the other! Thaaaanks.

I’ve used the two finger tap to undo in other apps. It quickly becomes second nature and is surprisingly difficult to trigger unintentionally. It’s my #1 request for Goodnotes. The current undo is clunky and I find it a hindrance to flow.
I’m not a fan of the “Pencil for writing, finger for erasing” method. I’ve also used this in other apps and I constantly end up with streaks erased through my work when I try to scroll the page.
The nebo style cross through is a nice concept, but it is unreliable in my experience. I’ve frequently had to try multiple times in Nebo to get it to delete something. I also often cross through or scribble things out in my notes that I purposefully still want there, so I wouldn’t want it to be a trigger for deletion...
Two finger tap to undo by far the best implementation of undo I’ve yet to experienced.

Maybe not just the same document, but having a pdf text book and a notebook opened at the same time would be awesome!!!

Yes please! It would also be nice to view two pages in the same document while in landscape view.
