Please add an option to disable the “Pull to Add Page” gesture.
It often creates unwanted pages when flipping through study PDFs or filled notebooks — not blank ones — by duplicating the first or last page unnecessarily.

Option to extend pages when reaching the end
I always extend the height of my pages manually when i reach the end so everything stays on one page. That's why I propose an alternative to the "create new page" button when this happens.

shortcut for highlighter
I think adding some shortcuts for the highlight tool on pc would be good. For ex, command + H for the highlight and command + S for strikeout, etc.

Lasso option to SELECT a SPECIFIC PENCIL and PEN color only!!
I'm a STORYBOARD ARTIST and I REALLY LOVE GOODNOTE'S Pencil tool!
But for a decent Workflow I need to make THUMBNAIL DRAWINGS in BLUE or RED first and then LATER INK THEM in BLACK on top.Therefore I would EITHER need a SELCTIVE COLOR ERASER, and/or a
SELCTIVE COLOR LASSO..I then could ALTER the BUE SKETCH below , by either changing it to a different color, that'a not as visible ( a light GREY for example) OR erase /delete it ALLTOGETHER, with my BLACK Drawing intact!!
That would be a GAME-CHANGER for my workflow and would imitate a more sophisticted drawing app like apple notes or even Procreate in THAT regard..
But I really would like to do that INSIDE GOODNOTES! 🙏🏻👀 Thanks!

stoke colorizer / stroke fill tool
How COOL would it be it you could take stokes that you had already made, and colorize them? so you wrote in white, but you want to make the stuff your pen stoke touches to be a blue color.
I know right now the alternative is to select and then change color but for many situations this is a better user experience
Think about it as a color fill tool.

Sending single pages into students classroom notebooks when they miss a lesson
Add a feature that allows teachers to send single pages to individual students — for example, to share missed lesson notes directly in the classroom notebook, in the exact place where the original worksheet was worked on.

Selection Tool Copying for PDFs (like Notability)
Please simplify the current "select -> screenshot -> share -> copy" function of the selection tool to simplify copy and paste parts of PDFs. Notability has this and it's MILES better than GoodNotes implementation which takes forever to copy a section of a PDF when I'm copying problems from my lecture slides to my notes.
This will make my, and so many students, note-taking so much easier.

Real-time synchronization
It would be nice to be able to use multiple devices at the same time on the same GoodNotes page. I study medicine and it would help me a lot.

Lasso tool desktop app
I think the lasso tool doesn't work properly on desktop and isn't natural to use.
To select text is it fine, but if you want to move a shape or text you have to clic on it to select and then move it. There should be a way for it to recognize the object and move on the first clic. Also, on mac you are able to duplicate something by pressing option and dragging it somewhere else. Text options should allow us to put indexes and exponants, this would be great for math formulas and we need more options for formulas in general, take inspiration from the equation integration in word.I think the lasso tool doesn't work properly on desktop and isn't natural to use.

[Toolbar] Consolidate duplicate tools in split screen
When the screen is split, the UI feels very intrusive. In particular, the recording icon appears on both screens and is quite large. The same goes for the Undo button. I think unused tools should be consolidated into one place, and the freed-up space could be used for tools that are actually needed. This idea aligns with your philosophy of being “all in one.”

[Sharing] Enable direct upload or sharing to ChatGPT and email
Allow Notebooks from Goodnotes to be uploaded/shared (to Chatgpt/email/etc) directly from Goodnotes without needing to export it first, as it takes up double the space on the computer; plus it exports as a zip file when its more than 1 notebook, making bulk sharing/uploading very tedious

Audio Transcription for more iPad models
Please add support for more iPad models for audio transcription, as many students use Goodnotes for note-taking. This feature is very useful, but unfortunately, it only works on several iPad models. Not all students can afford to but a new iPad while the old ones still working!!

Favoriten von Schriftarten und Zeilenabständen
Ich fände es gut, wenn man ähnlich wie bei Farben und Schriftdicken auch bei Schriftarten und Zeilenabständen „Favoriten“ anlegen könnte, wobei bei Zeilenabständen vorher der Fehler, dass diese bei mir nicht automatisch so sind, wie ich sie gespeichert habe behoben werden sollte.

Rescalable Templates
It would be great if GoodNotes allowed users to rescale existing paper templates. For example, when using an A4 template with a squared pattern, users could adjust the grid size (e.g., 4 mm, 5 mm, 1 cm, etc.) without changing the overall paper format. This flexibility would make it easier to customize templates for different needs—such as technical notes, sketches, or graphing—while maintaining a consistent page size and layout.

Improve highlighter
Make possible to draw a straight line but with different slants: when I take a picture of a text, sometimes the text is not perfectly straight, it’s abi tilted and it’s impossible to highlight it with the straight feature cause the highlight won’t correspond to the tilted text.

Improve Text and Keyboard Features
I find writing with a keyboard more difficult since the last update. You have removed the keyboard function in the toolbar, and now I have to tap and hold to start writing in a regular notebook. This is useless.
Text documents are not a terrible thing, but you should add the possibility to highlight or write with a pen on them. Personally, I chose GoodNotes because it allowed me to both write with a keyboard and with a pen on the same file.
With text documents you can finally write without pages and the issues that come from it (having to manually add a page every time I reached the end of mine was awful), but make it possible to do both things on the same document!I find writing with a keyboard more difficult since the last update.
