Turn off elements, text, etc from combining with shapes
I layer elements often and use a white shape to hide parts of my planner I’m redoing- but new things I add snap to the shape automatically. I click bring to front and it won’t unsnap from the shape. It has really been frustrating and has made my planner use tedious.

More PDF Features! (PLEASE READ, PERFECT FOR STUDENTS!)
I recently switched to a system in which I'm taking notes using a Rocketbook, then putting those PDF scans into Goodnotes to store and annotate into notebooks for each class. I would love if there was some features for that in particular.
- The ability to use precision eraser directly on the PDF. (I want to erase this diagram I drew! Or erase it then resize! Having to cover it with a shape is way to finicky, it makes adding new content over the shape very difficult.
- The ability to edit the color of text! I only use Black pens, so…

text document
I love the idea of the text document, it creates a notetaking ability that is similar to one note. However, I would love for there to be more customization (font, spacing, drawing, etc) within this feature. ALSO I would love to be able to create class notebooks in which they are text document format but there is a separate menu within the notebook for each page. This was I can separate my notebooks by unit!

Drag and drop colour fill
Instead of having to colour in drawings or shapes by hand (which is time consuming and sometimes difficult), being able to drag a colour of you choosing to fill inside a shape would be amazing! They have this feature on Procreate and it saves so much time and stress. I would love this to be added to Goodnotes too!

Add a "Workspaces" option to the Sidebar for context-specific tabs and tool presets
Description
Hi Goodnotes Team,
I would love to see a new "Workspaces" option added to the main page sidebar (which currently only includes Documents, Favorites, Shared, and Market).This feature would allow users to save and switch between different working environments tailored to specific scenarios (e.g., different classes, meetings, or projects).
Ideally, a custom Workspace would save:
• Specific files/tabs: The specific notebooks or PDFs that need to be opened together.
• Tool configurations: Custom presets for pen thickness, color palettes, and default tool combinations applicable to that specific scenario.Use Case:
For example, if I am about to study…

[Multi-Page View] 2-page and 4-page
Multi-Page View: Please allow viewing 2-page (spread) or 4-page layouts on a single screen.
A 2-page view is essential for a book-like experience, while a 4-page view is great for scanning data. Users should be able to write across these pages while the strokes are still assigned to their respective pages. (Reference: Flexcil and Noteful).

Audio recordings improvement for new Update
The new update is not user-friendly at all. The toolbar is difficult to use, and this is especially evident in the audio recording feature. When you start recording, a separate window appears outside the toolbar, taking up screen space and getting in the way. In the previous version, recording was indicated only by a small discreet icon in the toolbar, so writing wasn’t interrupted.
In addition, when you play back the recording, every time you want to stop it and play it again, another unnecessary panel pops up on the left side of the screen, making the process time-consuming.Overall,…

Toggle Setting for Hiding Close Tabs Button
I use Goodnotes on my iPad primarily and always keep tabs open for work to refer to at any time easily. I keep these open all the time because it's either a standard of procedure that I reference like my bible or documents pertinent to a project I'm working on over the course of a couple days, weeks, or so.
I find that sometimes I will accidentally click to close a tab and not know what tab I closed. I would love for a setting to toggle hiding the close tab button to prevent this.

"Math Assist - Insert graph" : Adjusting the x/y scaling interval
For function like y=sin(x°), the range and domain are very different ( -1 to 1 vs 0 to 360). The graph displayed is too flat for any visual understanding.
It would be great to be able to adjust the interval of x/y-axes seperately.In desmos, it is done by dragging the x/y-axes with two fingers.
In Apple Notes, it is auto-adjusted with "centered"1 vote -
Expand 'Shapes' to include various regular polygons
While making digital notes, ESPECIALLY for chemistry, polygons are essential for drawing rings. With the new update, we can’t even adjust each point’s position manually, nor can we make polygons other than quadrilaterals (I’ve been doing it through the pen's 'Snap to Other Shapes' feature), so please fix this as well.

Support for Personal Server & NAS Backups (WebDAV / SMB / SFTP / HTTPS API)
Title
Feature Request: Support for Personal Server & NAS Backups (WebDAV / SMB / SFTP / HTTPS API)Body
I would like to suggest adding support for personal server and NAS-based backups in GoodNotes, in addition to the currently supported cloud services.Many users operate their own servers or NAS solutions (such as Synology, QNAP, or self-hosted servers) for data ownership, privacy, and long-term storage. Supporting standard protocols would allow these users to back up GoodNotes data more flexibly and securely.
Suggested supported protocols include:
WebDAV
SMB (Network Share)
SFTP
HTTPS-based API endpoints
Potential benefits of supporting personal server or…

Automatically Remove Deleted GoodNotes Files from Cloud Backup
When using cloud backup (e.g., Google Drive) in GoodNotes, it would be very helpful if deleting files or folders within GoodNotes also synchronized the deletion in the cloud drive.
Currently, even after files are deleted in GoodNotes, residual files remain in Google Drive, requiring users to manually delete them separately. This creates unnecessary inconvenience and extra management work.
Please consider adding two-way deletion synchronization between GoodNotes and cloud backup services.

copy n paste
When I want to copy n paste words, it’s really annoying to ask me ‘agree’ everytime. Please add a ‘always agree’ message tickbox.

Remember import destination when sharing PDFs
Remember import destination when sharing PDFs
When importing a PDF from another app (e.g. Nebo) into Goodnotes 6, the default is always “New Document”. In GoodNotes 5 my workflow was to append the PDF to the currently open notebook. Please add an option in Settings to choose the default import destination (“Current Document” or “New Document”), or simply remember the last selected option. This would save an extra tap on every import and greatly improve workflows for users who frequently import notes from other apps.

zoom out
be able to zoom out, and allow the page to stay zoomed out. i would like to be able to have buffer room on the left and right of the page, as of right now, you can only zoom in, any attempt to zoom out (to see multiple pages at once, or understand where the edge of the page is) the page bounces back to fit the screen width.

Auto-add date and folder name when creating new files
It would be really helpful if, when creating a new notebook or whiteboard, GoodNotes could automatically include the current date (e.g. “September 1, 2025”) and optionally the name of the folder (e.g. “NameFolder – September 1, 2025”) in the file name.
This would greatly improve file organization, especially for users who create many documents daily (like teachers) and want to keep everything tidy without having to rename files manually.8 votes -
Lasso actions customization
Add an option to customize the lasso select menu after something is selected to be more like goodnotes 5. one thing I do all the time is lasso and then 'copy' but now I have to click an extra button to get to the 'copy' button. it was better on goodnotes 5.
