ERASER SHOULD WORK ON TEXT AS WELL
Eraser should be able to erase text as well. When I want to erase a text I have to lasso and click delete or I have to edit the text. It would be nice to use the eraser to erase some parts of the text you want without having to delete or edit the whole thing

Level up
I'm a surgical resident, and I've used almost every form of note taking, app and study method available in my 30+ years of being a professional student.
I've used Notability for a long time, but switched to Goodnotes because of the feature set, community, and one-time fee model. There are a few key missing features that make me switch back and forth between the apps.
Disclaimer: I realize the amount of effort it takes to execute new features and believe people should be compensated for their work. I would not be opposed to in-app purchases for the additional features proposed below.
- Gestures A. 2-finger tap to undo. Gesture recognition is poor. I find the app can't tell the difference between undo and zoom. Ideally, tapping once rather than twice to undo. I find it's faster to tap to undo on my iPad than it is to tap the button on my Apple Pencil to erase. B. 3-finger tap to redo. This gesture is missing, or input recognition is not captured. Again, the option to tap with 3 fingers once vs twice is preferred for expediency.
- Inefficiencies A. Missing color dropper. There are over 450 separate requests for this and it hasn't happened. "But we have hex codes" you may think. NO. Try to white something out on anything that isn't 'FFFFFF' shade of white. Hex codes are inefficient, especially for students taking notes during a lecture. To this effect, increase the max pen diameter. It's really frustrating and time consuming to have to scribble something out vs redact it with one stroke. B. Improve shape recognition, and add the option to fill with a solid color. more than 50% of the time I draw a circle and get a rectangle, and vise versa. Imagine how frustrating this is when I'm trying to draw something complex like pathways (complex flow chart) or a mind map. Also, including arrows as a recognized shape would be game changing. i. Once a shape is drawn, give the user an option to change the fill (solid, transparent (or even better, a sliding transparency scale) line color and line thickness. C. Give users a customizable tool bar where they can add their customized writing instruments (i.e. writing implement, color, diameter) and lasso tools. This would be akin to the analog of picking up a different color pen. The current system feels like the user has to open a box of colored pencils, pick the color, sharpen or dull the implement, test it out, and repeat until it's what they're looking for. It's too many steps. It should be as fast or faster than changing analog writing instruments. D. Instant alpha. Oh the time I would save! Having the ability to remove a background from an image would be phenomenal! i. Ability to erase portions of an image. I can draw on it, why can't I erase a portion of it? E. Elements. Seriously, I love this idea! However, there's a lot of room for improvement. i. Users should be able to choose to save a page of images/shapes/icons (think sticker sheet) as a .collection file. Having to cut out individual images is painfully tedious. ii. At the bottom of the elements drop down, organization of elements can be improved by giving the user an option to display all categories rather than horizontally scroll for days looking for the right category. Or, allow titles instead of icons. The some of the element icons are so small they're unrecognizable. iii. Element and shape scaling options are limited to the original ratio. Please change this scaling option to include independent adjustment vertical and horizontal dimensions (exactly like the adjustment options for images). iv. Why is creating color changing elements so limited and difficult? In order to have the option to change the color, the object has to be drawn, handwritten, or text directly input onto a page. Why can't I select text from my digital textbook and change the color? Or paste a black and white image (think simple icon line drawing) and change the color? F. Layering objects. Assigning objects to front, back, move forward or backward. G. The lasso tool options are fantastic. Would love an addition to select as a rectangle vs free form. A rectangle is faster when batch selecting. H. The option to change pen diameter on handwritten text or shapes. I. The option of changing the color of a selected object by dragging the color to the selected object.
- Optional/additional views A. An optional view for rulers (think Microsoft word). B. A snap to grid to help us align objects and shapes. C. A book view where two pages are displayed side by side (like they are in a physical book). D. Horizontal scrolling that displays more than one page at a time. Like in vertical scrolling where the top or bottom of the next/previous page is visible, but in this case the left and right of the previous/next pages would be in view. E. Closing the gap between pages in vertical scrolling so it appears like a continuous document. This could be a preferences option or done by double tapping on the bottom edge (vertical scrolling) or right edge (horizontal scrolling) of a page. F. Zooming out further than the vertical limitations of a page. I will admit, this limitation drives me nuts. Zooming out further really helps with document navigation and it's disorienting not to be able to do this. Having to open the thumbnails menu to reorient is inefficient.
- Navigation A. The ability to create links in text from an outline, table of contents, index, etc. B. Use the lasso tool or a gesture to follow a link in a document without exiting document editing mode. C. Files menu i. Option to display favorites first ii. Column view (like iOS) that shows the file nesting (i.e. parent folder --> child folder --> documents --> document preview) iii. Make vertical and horizontal document and file folder icons the same vertical size. Overall, the icons are too large. It wastes visual space to have one vertical document space out a row of folders/horizontal documents. iv. Color changing option for folders (i.e. Google Docs)
*Color changing options are a trend in the Goodnotes community, and for good reason. Using different colors increases pattern recognition, memory and recall. Using colors to organize can make a significant impact for users with various learning abilities and styles.

Improving iCloud synchronization
It would be practical to be able to select which files you would like to upload to iCloud, as, if you don‘t have enough storage for every single file, you can‘t even share a single file with anyone, which is quite annoying.

Ability to position page anywhere - usability for left handers
As a left handed person it's VERY difficult to write at the left edge of the page.
If I could move the page to the right and it would stay there, then I could rest my left hand on the screen and write on the left edge of the page.
Can you make it happen???!!!

trash
Add Restore Page to the top right (...) menu (rather than requiring that we go back to the trash bin to restore (to make it quicker and easier to restore if the wrong page is deleted inadvertently).

Increase max. Pen thickness to 5mm
Please increase max. Pen thickness to 5mm or 10mm. Right now it is only 2mm, which makes blackening (redacting) text very cumbersome and looks messy.

prevent undo-gesture when in read only mode
When in read-only mode, the two finger double tap gesture to undo still works. I suggest that this undo gesture is disabled when not in edit mode.

Highlight in a straight line between two points
This will help those of us who can't draw a straight line. The function would work by tapping two points, then everything would be highlighted in between and would default to a straight line in a horizontal, or vertical manner.

Removal of page addition confirmation window
With the recent update, a pop-up window started to appear whenever I drag my GoodNote note to add a page. This new change is extremely uncomfortable whenever I am in a rush to write down professors' comments. Please remove this feature ASAP.

更新後選取文字功能極不方便！
Ipad用戶，以前在不使用編輯工具時也可選取文字。更新後要在使用編輯工具下才能選取文檔的文字，操作變得極不方便且不能用apple pencil選取文字！建議改回原來版本！

Area to rest hand when writing on the edge of the document
Having extra space to either side of the document that you can scroll over into so that when you're writing on the edge, you have a place to rest your hand.
For me, I'm right-handed, and writing near the right-hand edge is always hard since there's nowhere to rest my hand, so it'd be nice to have extra space to the sides6 votes -
Linking
Would there be a function that link to the same or different notebooks page?
I know it can be achieved through a 3rd party platform but that makes the note not flexible enough.2 votes -
Copy screenshot directly to clipboard
When you use the lasso tool to take a screenshot, it would be nice if it copied it directly to your clipboard so you didn’t have to do ~~> share ~~> copy ~~> exit. I often need to screenshot lecture slides, and doing this series of motions repeatedly takes up a lot of time in real time as the professor is speaking. Having s feature where it a lasso screenshot is be automatically copied would be great
