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.

Yes, please add this function so I can use GoodNotes alone as my main note taking system.

Would love to see this. Currently studying from, and annotating, a PDF that is 400+ pages long. Would love to be able to capture the really important bits in one notebook, while still being able to write comments in the PDF in the window beside it.

I need this a lot too! Better still, make an option for continuous scrolling, so I can see the end of the previous page when writing on current page. Splitting the screen in two might make each page too small. Please make this happen soon!

I agree that undo is uncomfortable now. Double tap can be a simple and fast feature.

I completely agree.
Would like to see the original and the revised version of students work side by side. -

This is not just a problem with documents containing images. Documents exported with only handwriting end up at about 1 MB per page. Why are the files so large? An option to compress the files would be fantastic.
