Set a Default Font
It would be efficient and productive to be able to set a default font. Perhaps there is a way and I don’t know how to navigate it yet. But right now, every time I use the text box, and while I’ve already changed the font, it will default back to Helvetica Neue. Not a bad font, I just have work & schoolwork that requires a different font. It would be nice to just pick that font and stay until I decide otherwise.
2 votesYou can already save the current text box style as your default. Have a look at this article on how to do it: https://support.goodnotes.com/hc/en-us/articles/360000629696-Typing-text-with-the-Text-tool

Perfect Shape Tool
Good Notes 4's shape tool was significantly better than Good Notes 5's tool. On Good Notes 5 it is almost always imperfect. Can you please add an option in the shape tool that allows for a subset of perfect shapes, like circles, squares, rectangles, etc... Another suggestion is that you could make it so that when we draw a shape using the pen tool and hold it the shape automatically snaps to a perfect shape. This would be incredibly useful for making graphs and charts that need precise lines. Not everyones hand is as steady as an artists and for…
98 votesWe’re happy to announce that the update 5.6.0 that we released today adds an improved shape recognition including the option to hold at the end of a line to make a perfect shape, shape selection, and curve drawing.

Outline freedom
I’ve seen lots of ideas about outlines and in conclusion I think a side view plus the ability to add outlines as one would see fit (wether it is notebooks within notebooks or just inside a document like in Word with headings and titles). This is really one of the biggest shortcomings of GoodNotes and makes the app always feel replaceble.
2 votesHello,
Outline creation is already available in Goodnotes. You can create outlines in both Notebooks and Text Documents.
There are several ways to create an outline:
- Import it with a PDF
- Generate it automatically with AI
- Create it manually
Please find more details here.

Add page numbers feature so I don’t have to do it manually?
I could not find a way to add page numbers to my notebook. Is this feature already available or can it be added, including automatic page renumbering when pages are moved? Thanks

While scrolling through your document, you can now see the current page number and the total number of pages in this document.

Presentation
When I connect the presentation of reflection through AirPlay, found that in the Good Note application, can be extended or zoom the screen at the iPad normally. But the image that is reflected through AirPlay, found that the image drawing board of Good Note also shows only the full screen. And display the expansion or zoom screen, not same the screen of the IPad So Making it difficult for presentation. Please update as well.
1 voteWhen you’re mirroring the iPad, you can set one of 3 preferences for the presentation mode in the Share options. Tap on the Share button in the navigation bar and select “Mirror entire screen” or “mirror presenter page” so that your audience will also see when you are zooming in on the page.

Select certain pages
We need to be able to select certain pages when exporting. Selecting only one page or all pages is annoying and if we have to submit homework or notes, some pages we don't need to submit. It would be helpful and practical.
2 votesTo export selected pages, open the thumbnail view with the overview of all pages in your document. Tap on the select button, then tap on the pages you want to export. You can now tap the “export” button at the top.

Larger paper templates
I'd love to have the possibility of having larger than A4 paper templates.
A2, A1 and even A0 templates would be awesome when you have to create flow charts.2 votesHi there 👋 Thanks for the suggestion. GoodNotes allows you to add any PDF or image as a custom paper template to your template library and you can easily create your desired paper template size using a text editor like Word or Pages. Alternatively, you can find many additional paper templates for free (or a low price) online.

GoodNotes 5? Hello??!
I'm starting to doubt that GoodNotes 5 team even visits this Feature Request page; there are MANY great, INTUITIVE features that have been suggested here YEARS ago and didn't come to life. Like, come on!
This is a paid app; it should get more attention than free ones. Before I purchased the app, I was really confused between which app to get, GoodNotes 5 or Notability? I chose GoodNotes 5 because I saw the potential this app could become. I read the requested features here and I believed it's a good investment if these requests later came to life. I…

Return to current notebook from Documents view
Here is a common inconvenience: I am writing in a notebook. I hit the "<" icon in the top left and enter the "Documents" view where I can see all the folder structure. From here, there is no easy way to return to the notebook view - I must open a notebook or create a new one just to get back to my current notebook to carry on writing.
This is a particularly annoying problem when your position in the folder hierarchy in the "Documents" view does not contain your current notebook. Then you have to open a notebook you…

Hold stroke for perfect shape
It’s a bit tedious to switch to the shape tool every time you want to draw e.g. a perfect line. What about having GoodNotes draw a perfect shape when you hold your stroke like in Procreate or Notability? Bonus points when it’s possible to edit the shape size and anchor points.
107 votesWe’re happy to announce that the update 5.6.0 that we released today adds an improved shape recognition including the option to hold at the end of a line to make a perfect shape, shape selection & editing, and curve drawing. It further improves the recognition of circles and squares and adds back the ability to draw shapes with the highlighter.

3rd Party Mouse Scrolling
Please add mouse scroll wheel support. This makes scrolling through pages using a mouse (aside from Magic Mouse / trackpad) much more convenient than having to hold and drag to scroll.

AirTurn Compatibility
I play guitar on the music team for my church, and instead of using printed sheet music I would like to use digital music and an AirTurn bluetooth device to change pages/songs with my feet.
It would be great if GoodNotes supported AirTurn for going forward/back a page. Then I could scan my music into a notebook in GoodNotes and turn pages using my bluetooth pedal so my hands are free to play the instrument.
1 voteGoodNotes already supports this. You can flip pages using the arrow keys on any external keyboards. Make sure that your footpedal is correctly mapped to the arrow keys of the keyboard.

Easy/Automatic Outlines
Easy way of writing something and document automatically adds to page outline. For example, if I were to write “Chapter 2: Title”, GoodNotes will take that handwritten text and add it to the page outline. Either do it with a special pen, or a box used to highlight the text that is desired to be added. This way I don’t have write it, then go back and forth between the outline typing what I wrote.
11 votesHello,
At the moment, we don’t have an option to add a specific part of the text to outlines, but this is available for the page settings.
For faster outline creation—especially when starting from scratch—the best option is to generate an outline using AI, which has also become available recently.
For more details, please read here.
Give it a try and let us know if this works for you!

White Legal Paper Template
A white color version of the legal writing papers would be great. I've been using the white single column but a margin would make note taking more efficient.
