  1. Please add this feature, so we can read full file names of PDFs we upload. If some are too similar, you have to open each to check each file. But once open you still can't see the full file name to be positive you've opened the correct one... For example if the name ends in revision date

  2. It would be great to make your own custom color palettes to switch between different ones and being able to synchronize these with the color palette of for example the highlighter pen, so you can make nice notes within a color scheme

  3. It is now possible to export directly to one drive but not to Sharepoint. For business use, I want to be able to export to Sharepoint.
    Currently, I mail it to myself first and then download the file and save it manually.

  4. Please add the the translation tool like in every other app. Currently we can only click on „define“ and then search for the web when highlighting/long pressing a word.

  5. Just like, when you press link to tie a Word to another page you should have that same ability to tie a word to the audio files that you can record. Then you could link the title of the paragraph press on it, and it would read the paragraph.

  6. you should, In the content tab let us stack by chapter so you could edit chapters easer and your not maneuvering 60+ pages. It could be as easy as setting a page to “chapter header” and tap it and it folds in/out.

  8. Once we finish reading a PDF and want to delete it for good, we now have to go to the location (folder) of the file and delete. That is lot of work navigating to the actual location.
    Give us the option in the file options to trash the file.

  9. With the new Apple Pencil pro, being able to control the menu that pops up with the squeeze function by rotating the pen and making use of the new barrel roll feature would allow for a much smoother and seamless experience.

  10. I'm using Windows 11on the Surface Pro 8 with keybaord and pen. I want to make daily planner pages. I find that the keyboard integration is pretty much nil. I can't use my arrow keys to move text boxes up or down, I have to use the pen. Going back and forth when you're creating something is a pain. When my keyboard is attached I would like the ability to tap anywhere and type, it's a pain in the arse to have to create a textbox first; in fact having to create a text box at all seems archaic to…

  11. It seems small problem but changing pen directly from toolbar in one tap will be game changer .. changing colour is simple we know but changing ballpoint, brush and fountain pen directly is only imagination

  12. I like the new feature where the outlines can be viewed in a side bar alongside the document. However I really wish I could have it that the outline title can wrap and go onto multiple lines instead of being cut off with ‘…’. Even though it would mean I have to scroll more to see all the outlines, I’d find it very useful to be able to read the full title I gave each page.

  14. Hi, I have GOODNOTES on my Microsoft surface studio computer and I use it regularly.
    The problem: I need to export some pages in the notebook to a PDF file and I don't have such an option. That's why I have to export all the pages and after that delete the pages I don't need with external software.
    (I know such an option has changed on tablets and phones - but it would be very helpful to have such an option on the computer as well).

  15. There are quiet a lot of feature request regarding being able to export all Highligthed parts of an PDF. However for a start i think it would be beneficial if, you could filter the (miniature) pages in the content view to show Pages that has been Highligthed or written a note on.
    Kind off like the Bookedmarked tab shows only bookedmarked pages. For start it probably would be enough to show the entire page a Highligthed has been made. In a Perfect world (probably quiet challenging to archive) this could maybe work like the preview when searching for something in…

  16. It would be fantastic to display other Apps ( for Schoolbooks. Pdf. , etc. ) on a second screen and open a document in goodnotes to make notes.

    The normal iOS note does it in this way.
    Goodnotes directly switches to presenter Mode if i open a document and hides my digital Schoolbooks.

    Should be like shown on the picture.

    IPad make notes
    Second screen display something

  17. Basic functions for typed text (same as in OneNote) such as creating tables, lists, bulleted lists. These can also be created using keyboard shortcuts.

  19. I feel like it would be useful for an option to open a list view of all flashcards that have been made in each study set. A page where flashcards can be printed or viewed at all the same time.

  20. There is a blank space next to the color palette, so the palette isn’t showing as many colors as it could. The palette isn’t taking up all the space to the edge of the screen (see the screenshot).
    The size of the blank space seems to depend on how many tools you have on your toolbar but it is present even without editing the default tool order.
    I tried reinstalling the app - it was fixed for about a day and then the issue appeared again.
    I’m facing this issue on my 11” iPad Pro 2022, but also have seen…
