More than 3 color options in the tool bar
I use more than 3 colors in my notes, so I constant have to switch which ones are selected in the tool bar. I’d like to have at least 5 different colors available in the tool bar without having to click one and change it, then change it back once I need another color.

Apply deep learning for handwriting
Dear GoodNotes
Hi, I'm an university student who is using your application very often.
It is a bit shameful to say but to be honest, my handwriting isn't that good.
So I hope the good notes automatically change my handwriting into Text.
If you apply deep learning system for each users, AI will understand and change someone's handwriting to Text even if his handwriting is barely understandable in human's view . And also, users can customize their own AI system.
It must improve and reduce misconversion for each users.
I hope you consider about it
Best regards

Paper sizes
Can we please add more paper sizes such as A4, B4, and JIS B5?
I'm a university student who uses B5 sized paper for my notes and I would like to print my GoodNotes pages out onto my regular B5 paper.
Thank you

Automatically Create Outlines based on Highlights/Annotations
It would be a huge time saver if somehow the app would automatically index any sort of annotation to either the front of the doc to summarize certain chapters or documents. This could effectively summarize the ideas and create an outline of the doc so that one would not have to go back to find different highlights etc.

Smart select
Other than just the lasso tool to select pieces of a Goodnotes document, I’d like to see a “smart select” option that would let you highlight written or typed text (like LiquidText can do for PDFs), so that you can move and edit the properties of the selected handwritten text. This would also help avoid erroneous selection of text and/or objects with the lasso tool and make the application more user-friendly.

Remove File Browsing Animation
Please add an option to remove the animation when moving through files (i.e. opening folder, opening file) to make it snappier. Sometimes I have to open a file in a whole other directory and it alway takes what feels like ages to get there.

Select multiple pages and change template and change all white text to black (or vice versa).
I write my notes in the black template with some white writing and it's impossible to print my notes this way. Having a feature that automatically identified white text in the selected pages and also changed the template would be so helpful for the process of printing!

Adding the Link to a document which also is saved on goodnotes
I don’t know whether this is possible, but I think it would be great if one could add/link a document into a notebook.
But not in the way that you would have to get through the pages but for example, you‘d see the icon of the document or document folder on the page in your notebook and when you click on it, the linked document would open up.
This would be especially great for word documents, since I sometimes write something into a notebook but I don’t like the text box option. Having the option to link the document, I could have a quick look onto it and then close it again without having to close the notebook. It would be like a post it on the page, just as a whole document.I don’t know whether this is possible, but I think it would be great if one could add/link a document into a notebook.

Improve size of flash cards on mac
The flash card studying window on a mac is not using the screen size. The window on an iMac is so small that the cards are only barely readable even if the application is opened as a full screen window.

Create stickers at the middle of screen rather than the middle of the page
When I zoom in and add sticker, it will go out of the screen and create in the middle of the page, so every time I have to zoom out and adjust the scale and position of it. It’s quite annoying.

Template with dynamically numbered pages
A template with an automatic numbering system. The template would have a positionable "page number" feature, with the option to have the total page count as well. I wouldn't have to manually add "1 of 6", "2 of 6" to my pages, then change them all if I add a 7th page.

Set Highlighter Behind Text Instead of In Front
Instead of highlighter overlining text, program it to switch behind the text. Included is a photo with the above text featuring an overlined highlight, and the lower text featuring "behind" highlight. (In order to achieve "behind", need to first mark with highlighter then write over with pen). The current "overline" setting is frustrating because it compromises the color of the pen instead of accenting it.

For Teachers: Hide document contents from students until "activated"
When teaching I feel I have only two options: 1) Show the completed note set to students all at once or 2) Transfer the notes from another document into a blank goodnotes document. Option 1 can be overwhelming to students and option 2 can lead to mistakes when transferring the messages.
A feature that could solve these issues would be the option to open a document in "teaching mode". "Teaching mode" would show the students a blank document, however for the teacher on the iPad (or other device) they would see the document they had prepared with all the writing lightly greyed out. This way the teacher could write over their pre-prepared notes in a way thats more streamlined than transferring them from another document, plus the students would get the natural experience of seeing the notes develop overtime.

Adjust the size of the eraser
There are three different sizes of erases to choose. It would be great to change the size, so that I can erase very small written things.

Make popover behavior for image tool and elements tool more consistent
Elements tool:
Tapping its icon in the toolbar will show a popover which is anchored to the icon in the tool bar.
Tapping anywhere on the page will show a popover that is anchored to the tapped spot on the page. No blue placeholder symbol indicating that an element will be placed there.Image tool:
Tapping its icon in the toolbar will show a blue placeholder symbol in the middle of the screen and a popover which is anchored to it.
Tapping anywhere on the page will show a blue placeholder at the tapped spot and a popover that is anchored to it.I’d suggest also showing a blue placeholder symbol when inserting an element.
Also, I think tapping a tool in the toolbar should have a consistent effect. So maybe it would be better to have the image tool popover anchored to its symbol in the toolbar too.Elements tool:

Make selecting and editing objects faster and easier
This applies mainly to the situation when I am using an Apple Pencil.
Let’s say I want to resize and reposition an object (image, shape or element).
Right now, when a tool like the pen or the marker is selected, I have to tap and hold the object with my finger to bring up the edit menu. Then I have to select "Edit" to select the object and make it editable.
Or I have to switch to the image, shape or element tool in the toolbar. Then I can tap the object with my pencil (or finger) to resize it or to drag it around. If I want to, for example, crop the image, then I need to tap it another time to bring up edit menu.That’s a lot of tapping and changing tools. I think this could be a bit faster and easier.
Just let me tap an object with my finger to select it regardless of the tool I am using at the moment. Also bring the edit menu up immediately when an object gets selected. That’s the way Apple’s Pages does it.
When using your fingers to draw instead of the pencil, you could just touch an object with two fingers to select it.

Editing text fields should work more like it does in Apple’s Pages or Microsoft’s Word in the Mac Version of GoodNotes
Editing text in text fields should work the way it does in Pages or Word because that’s what people are used to. It’s confusing that GoodNotes has a different way of handling this and it throws me off every time I’m working with text fields.
In Pages and Word, clicking a text field once selects it. Then you can click it again to get the cursor to appear so that you can start typing. To deselect the text field, you just click anywhere else in the page.
However, in GoodNotes, after clicking a text field once to select it, clicking it again deselects it. If I want to edit the text, I have to double click inside the text field.Editing text in text fields should work the way it does in Pages or Word because that’s what people are used to.
