Coloured parts of paper
Allow certain parts of paper to be overlayed in a specific colour, this makes it easier for notes to stand out in areas they are needed, sort of like a text box
2 votesThis is either possible by using the highlighter or adding a filled shape with the border removed. Enable color fill in the shape options > draw a shape (i.e. a large rectangle) > tap the undo button to remove the border.

I am trying to use GoodNotes as my electronic filing system
I can’t find any tutorials on using GoodNotes as my home electronic filing system. I want to replace a filing cabinet of letters (in and out), invoices, contracts etc.
A typical issue is stapling together a covering letter and a few attachments. I don’t see how to do this. There will probably be more things I get stumped on that someone else has understood a good way to do.
1 voteWe’re not sure if there is a single tutorial online that explains your exact use case as your requirements could be quite specific. We definitely recommend searching for something like “paperless organization with GoodNotes”, which should bring you closer to helpful tutorials that other people have produced. From our end, there are a couple of things we would recommend checking out in particular as it could help you to understand more on how to use GoodNotes’ features to accomplish what you would like to do.

Show multiple pages of the same doucment on different tabs
Some times we need to reference different pages of the same document at the same time and will switch among these pages. Could you show multiple pages of the same document and each page is in a different tab so that we can jump to these pages easily and quickly? A simple implementation is to allow a document to be opened in multiple windows. A better implementation is to alllow multiple pages to be sticked on different tabs.
3 votesYou can already open the same document in multiple windows. Here are a couple of ways how to do it: https://support.goodnotes.com/hc/en-us/articles/360001118635-Opening-GoodNotes-in-multiple-windows-on-iPadOS

Thumbnails / outline / favorites in side bar
An ability to have a sidebar for thumbnails etc so these are always available as a quick way to jump around a document rather than always having to open the separate window which is currently used. This would massively speed up workflow when working with large documents. Similar feature to what exists in Notability.
14 votesHello,
This option is already available. In Goodnotes, the sidebar lets you navigate through Page thumbnails (including Bookmarks), Outlines, and Audio recordings in separate tabs.
Please make sure you are using the latest version of Goodnotes.

Pencil cursor option should be there for presentation mode, so that while writing pencil appears at that point.
Shape editing should be there and it should be easy.
Page transitions.

Optimising GoodNotes on Mac for Apple Silicon (Universal version)
Hello, it would be great to update GoodNotes on Mac to work natively on Apple Silicon.
I know that it works great with the translation thanks to Rosetta 2 but I would like to know if you plan to release an Universal version ?Thank you !
1 voteYes, GoodNotes will run natively on M1 chips soon. We’re waiting for some third-party frameworks to adopt the new technology. If you have questions in the future, feel free to contact our support team directly: https://support.goodnotes.com/hc/en-us/requests/new

Smaller file sizes
Good day. While most of my eBooks fit 300-1000 pages in around 5-20 MB, writing 10 pages in GoodNotes gives me larger files than that. I just don’t get why that is, after all the aforementioned eBooks are so small with so many pages. Also, exporting edited eBooks as a flattened PDF to reduce file size completely removes all outlines. I would really appreciate fixes to these problems. Otherwise I really enjoy your app, thanks!!
1 voteThe indexed handwriting and text is increasing the file size in GoodNotes. Otherwise, the text would not be searchable in the app or when you export it as PDF. You can disable it in Menu > Settings > Search Indexing.
We’re continuously trying to optimize it to reduce the file size. If there are documents that are way too large in your opinion, please share one of them with us by reporting a problem to our support team: https://support.goodnotes.com/hc/en-us/requests/new

Apple Pencil Contexual Menu
Immediately after I started using the app to take notes in class, I have found myself wanting a contextual menu that can show up around the pencil.
My idea would be to use the double tap in the Apple Pencil, or a double tap of the Pencil on a note (or another shortcut), that would open a menu around the last position of the Pencil.
This menu would have color palette, tool options, and tool selection.
This could allow the user to have the toolbar off or just have a shortcut to the toolbar options.
41 votesHello,
The Apple Pencil menu is already available. Simply squeeze the barrel of your Apple Pencil gently while writing or drawing, and the assigned menu or action will appear instantly.

Flashcards missing because of termination
If you accidentally click next to the flashcards, the window closes and says the query is finished. The next times only the flashcards are queried until the termination. It would be nice if this could be changed in the next update because it is a hindrance to learning. The function and GoodNotes itself is really great, thanks!
1 voteThanks for the report. We will release an update in the next few days that should address this issue. if not, please report a problem directly to our customer support team: https://support.goodnotes.com/hc/en-us/requests/new

Enhanced Shape Tool
I wish the shape tool on GoodNotes 5 didn’t require you to press a button to draw a shape. It would be more intuitive if I could roughly draw a shape and hold down the pencil for a second and have the app automatically fix the shape. I also wish that the app would let you draw perfect arcs.
12 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.

Set where new line begins in own template
When importing your own template and press enter or are at the end of a page the zoom box jumps the whole zoom box length instead of going to the next line. So being to able to set where different lines are when importing a new template would be very helpful so the workflow can be as good as with the good notes original templates.
2 votesHere’s how you can adjust the zoom window return height for custom templates: https://support.goodnotes.com/hc/en-us/articles/201565249-Adjusting-Zoom-window-return-height-for-a-template

If you’re writing with a hand position that comes from the top so it accidentally touches the navigation bar, we recommend moving bar position to the bottom. You can do that in GoodNotes > Menu > Settings > Document editing.

Screen Keyboard doesn‘t work
Since the last update the screen keyboard doesn‘t work correctly. I just see a part of it. In other apps the keyboard works correctly.
1 voteThis is most likely a bug with the system that is triggered by GoodNotes somehow. Please try quitting the app in the background and try restarting your device. If it still happens, please let us know the exact steps to reproduce the problem and send them to support@goodnotes.com.

Chinese Text Recognition and conversion
- Improve Chinese text recognition. Chinese handwriting to text conversion should not be limited to traditional Chinese but allow for simplified Chinese. Simplified Chinese is more commonly used than traditional Chinese.
1 voteGoodNotes supports traditional and simplified Chinese. You can set the language for the entire document when you create it or in the search field after typing in some characters.
You can also set the language for recognition after you select something and converted it by tapping on the language button in the bottom right corner.

Flashcard order according to learning level
Ask the flashcards after the level: hard, good, easy. So that cards that you don’t know so well are asked at shorter time intervals than cards which you already know well. This also implies a random order of the flashcards, which would be great.
1 voteFlashcards in GoodNotes are using an algorithm that shows you cards more frequently, the harder you find them to answer.
We are planning to add randomization in one of the next updates. -
