Custom Page Names Instead of Only Page Numbers
Custom Page Names Instead of Only Page Numbers
I would love to have the option to assign custom names to individual pages, instead of displaying only page numbers.
Currently, pages can only be identified by their numbers, which makes it difficult to quickly find specific notes in larger notebooks. It would be much more convenient if users could give each page a custom title, such as “Meeting Notes”, “Chapter 3”, “Ideas”, or “To-Do”.
This feature would make navigation much faster and improve organization, especially for notebooks with many pages. It could work similarly to naming tabs or sections, while still…

[Whiteboard options] Add Scene feature similar to Freeform
I really like the whiteboard feature as it enables others and me to collaborate cross-platform on the same infinite canvas like on Freeform, where only Apple users can collaborate.
But I miss the background options you get with ordinary.
I also miss scenes from Freeform, which can serve as keynote slides, table of contents and a general outline of the whole mind-map.
For me as a math and it student, this would be much appreciated.

[Lock object] Prevent image from being selected
It’s frustrating because whenever I try to write notes over an attached image, the image keeps getting selected instead. Even with the "lock" feature enabled, it only prevents the image from moving; I can't find any way to stop it from being selected. I seem to recall there used to be a specific setting for image objects in the document options—did that get removed? I can't seem to find it anymore. Please bring it back!

Formatting multiple fonts at a time
Being able to select multiple text boxes and change their font, size, or colour all at once.
= Streamline formatting and save time
Especially when working with longer documents or needing to make quick adjustments after a lecture.When sharing my notes with friends, they may not like my font, so if i could just multi select and change it in seconds, it would be so useful!
Please please add this feature!

New update = hot garbage
- The tool bar being ON my document is blocking parts of my notebook, making my working area smaller.
- When in split screen mode half of the toolbar disappears(we used to be able to scroll over still) and will only reappear if i make the window bigger.
- Instead of functions being displayed on the toolbar i now have to press extra buttons to get to things like the bookmark, but why?
- Why is my pen automatically the lasso? In GoodNOTES you would think i would automatically need the pen no?
- Not everything needs to be a drop down menu! The double…

Bring back the ball point pen
I hate using the fountain pen because I want all my writing to look consistent. The fountain pen has places where it's thicker and places where it's thinner and it drives me crazy. The ball point pen was way better because it was consistent. Bring it back!

Zoom the page canvas
I want Goodnotes to let me permanently zoom the page/canvas out to a much smaller percentage (like 20%) and keep it at that zoom level, like Noteful does. With the ability to zoom it back to 100%.

Scribble But Without Textbox
I want much more freedom when I write than a textbox! So I'm requesting a feature where you can manually turn it on or off and when you write with your Apple Pencil on your iPad in GoodNotes with any pen (like brush pen, ball pen, fountain pen), as you write in real-time, your text gets replaced with a font. So it's basically scribble as you write with your handwriting and it gets turned into a font but without the textbox limitation. Because it saves a lot of time instead of clicking on the text box icon, then selecting text…

Align and space shapes
Love the new shapes tool but it would very useful if shapes (or in a broader sense also all other objects like images, text, stickers, etc.) could be aligned and spaced out evenly to make notes look more professional.
Also the option to eg. center elements on the page via an x/y axis. There could be an option to turn automatic snapping/ guidelines on or off.
It is very difficult to eyeball objects to be consistently spaced and aligned and often results in pages not looking consistent.

Download for offline editing that will still sync when connected
You can make backups, but what would be nice is being able to have them kind of "cached" and saved on the devices storage for faster loading (loading in the app on android is pretty slow) and for access offline, but it still syncs back and forth when connected to internet. Mostly if loading could be faster, there's a lot of lag and it takes forever for things to open on the android app and sometimes on the web app too.

After using lasso tool, put it back to pen tools.
Currently, after using lasso tools, tapping with Apple Pencil will switch back to the eraser forcibly. It is so inconvenient that doesn’t revert to the tools I was using before, like pen or highlighters. Before the updates, it was used as usual. So please.

Bug Report: Faulty PDF text data recognition blocks Text Box and Link tools
Dear Goodnotes Support Team,
I am writing to report a severe editing issue caused by the app's automatic PDF text recognition behavior, which currently frozen manual touch inputs on the document.
When opening a PDF, Goodnotes automatically recognizes the text data and forcefully clusters a wide area into an unwanted purple selection block—even though I did not long-press to select any text. Furthermore, this text boundary recognition is highly inaccurate, capturing oversized regions regardless of the actual text layout.
The critical issue is that within these faulty, automatically recognized text areas, all other manual touch inputs are completely disabled.

Table formatting issue when pasting from ChatGPT/Web
Hello Goodnotes Team,
I am a long-time user of Goodnotes, and I recently upgraded to Goodnotes 6. I am writing to request a crucial improvement regarding text formatting and tables.
In Goodnotes 5, when I copied a table from ChatGPT or websites and pasted it into a text box, the table structure and grid format were preserved perfectly. However, in Goodnotes 6, this formatting is lost upon pasting; only the raw text appears or the table breaks entirely.
Copying and pasting digital study materials (like ChatGPT tables) is essential for my workflow. It is very inconvenient to have to use…

Support text-based PDF highlighting & add rectangular PDF text highlight
There should be an option to be able to highlight the pdf text in the highlighter color you have selected. Similar to how you long press on a word and it selects, it should highlight, that way its much cleaner and easier on laptops to use. It should be in a rectangular highlighter shape. This feature is available in notability and is really urging me to switch.

Restore the undo button to top bar
The undo button has been migrated to an inconvenient location. Please revert this change.
I use split screen mode very often on my tablet, with Goodnotes on one side and lecture slides open on the other. The undo button was easily accessible before.
Now I have to tap the 3-dot menu just to undo one change. The only other options are to use Goodnotes fullscreen (not ideal), or surgically erase things on diagrams I've drawn.
This was so disruptive that I've already started moving to a different service. I'm aware there are smart gestures available, but I still heavily prefer…

Remove background for images
The tool similar to the one they have on word ( either the remove background, or set to transparent tool) for images… because I love to make aesthetic notes and it is so time consuming having to manually remove the background on images of third party tools and then import them into my notes

I have a master to do list, but often i'll be in another notebook and will create a to do item and write it on the side of the paper. i would like to be able to send that item to the master to do list, so i don't lose it in the many pages.
