Draggable scroll bar
Since iOS 13 there is the possibility to hold and drag the scroll bar on the right to scroll. This does not seem to be the case in GoodNotes 5. It‘s a very small but useful feature to get a quick glance at the document or finding a page in a big document. Once you get used to it in other apps like OneNote, you start to miss it in GoodNotes 5.

Text needs to be improved
- Bullet points and other text features like tables needed to be added
- Switching quickly between preset text fonts and sizes

[Lasso] Stop making lasso the default
Stop having lasso be the default tool. I cannot even remove it from the toolbar. It is frustrating that everything always goes back to lasso. I can’t even do multiple text boxes one after the other because once you type in a text box once and click off it goes straight to lasso instead of having text toggled on like it used to

Grid that can be toggled on and off
It would be useful to have a grid or lines that float above the paper, but are not saved with a PDF. As it is now I use the graph paper template to write on. It helps keep my writing straight and makes it easier to draw lines and boxes. But I’d rather that my audience not see the grid. A better solution for me would be to use the plain paper template but with a grid I can turn on and off as needed. The grid appears on the iPad but is not visible on the AirPlay output.

Bookmark toolbar
Pls return the bookmark icon in the toolbar where it was previously with the red mark indicator if selected. Because of the new update i can‘t directly see which notes are more important while learning my courses. Without having to use other complicated features.

Streamline Option for the Drawing Tools
Add a streamline option for the pen/pencil/marker tools similar to the streamline option in Procreate. That way, those who write in cursive won't have as much trouble with shakiness & therefore there wouldn't be any "jerky" lettering.

Switch back to GoodNotes 6
Can we have the option to downgrade from the new GoodNotes (7) back to GoodNotes 6 like there’s the option to go back to 5? I’ve loved GoodNotes for years and it’s the thing I use most on my iPad, but the tool bar and other small design changes make it so much harder to use and it’s making me want to quit this app

Video links/ hyperlink
Hello,
I am using Notability as well as Goodnotes 5..
I want to emphasize on the point that you should make it possible to insert videos in the notes itself or at least give an option of inserting hyperlinks to youtube or websites.
It becomes so much easy for us to click the link and open it there itself..
U need to seriously think on this..333 votes -

[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.

Remember pen options for different documents
It would be awesome if different documents could remember the pen options for each of them. This feature was available in GoodNotes 4, but I was shocked that it disappeared in 5. I usually need to switch between several documents each requiring a different pen size/color, and I almost went mad after typing the desired pen option for 100 times because it was not remembered for each doc. I have been bearing with Goodnotes 5 for half a year, and I will probably switch to Goodnotes 4 if this simple and useful feature is still not implemented.

Tape
Tape…Notability just published an update to allow something like white out tape that can be tapped to make transparent and then tapped again to ”reapply.”
Teaching implications of such a tool are obvious and awesome.
Please give us such a feature.
