  2. I often am highlighting a PDF and writing down some notes on a separate document. I would like that if I am using the highlighter in one document and then switch to another the highlighter tool does not follow me to that document if I was previously using the pen on that document.

    I think this was the default in Goodnotes 4, it would be great to have it back

    Thank you!

  5. When opening the file-browser, one can only get back to the document writing view by opening a new document.
    Very inconvenient.
    Implement a "close button" for file browser an GN jumps bach to the document one was working on

  6. Allow users to login on the website for desktop users to easily sync by logging in and being able to edit from anywhere. Kind of like what Microsoft did.

    1. default paper color
      At the moment we can choose one of two: white or strong yellow.
      In my opinion, the yellow one is too strong - of course, this is just my opinion, but adding the possibility to choose a paper with a slightly less yellow color would be something great.
      I think the way to have a cool yellow color is in Notability. There yellow seems to be nicer - better perceived by the eye.

    2. color of the application bar.
      Right now we have something like light navy blue - it's a bit sad and a very office color.…

  8. When I "add page" to a notebook, and then "scan documents", the document is scanned and the margins are good (right on the page edges). But, when that document is imported into a notebook, margins are added and cannot be cropped.

  12. Make it so I can set which groups of elements I would see in which notebooks. Along with color presets and line widths. If I am in my budget planner I would like to see different elements than with my daily planner. I also use different width pens and different colors. Rather than seeing long lists.

  13. Say I am on the eraser tab with the smallest off the 3 erasers pre-selected but I want to erase a large chunk of writing quick, as of now, I have to select the larger eraser, erase the content, then select the smallest eraser again! Wouldn’t it be better if I am on the smallest eraser, I touch and hold any of the other two sizes (with my non-dominant hand obviously) and it temporarily switches to the size I select till I lift my apple pencil up? Since lifting the pencil, it shall go back to the size it was…

  16. A good notes account is a good idea as iCloud sync is not reliable. Making a username and password to have all folders and notebooks safe in a “goodnotes account” is the best way to ensure nothing is lost, and is an easy way to access these notes on other compatible devices (like iPad to MacBook).

  17. I have different font preferences for Title vs Body Text vs diagram labels. It would be good to save 3 or more favourite font settings, rather than just the one.

  19. I often want to convert notes arranged in a hierarchical structure to text, but I need to recreate the hierarchy (bullet points, indentation, etc.) when doing the conversion. It would be very useful the text conversion could interpret the hierarchy of the handwriting as a whole and maintain the structure in the conversion.
