1. [Integration] OneDrive

   Please can we have the ability to pull in documents (word, excel,PowerPoint, pdfs, images, videos) directly from OneDrive.

   It would be great if these could be live documents with the option to refresh them. If we were able to push notations on PDFs back it would be amazballs.

2. iCloud Drive sync

   Have GoodNotes auto sync into iCloud drive similar to how it can sync for Google Drive. I'd like for my notes to be accessible through the apple files app, since it's so commonly used when using Apple devices.

   In progress  ·  AdminGoodnotes (Moderator, GoodNotes) responded

   Hello! We’re excited to let you know that we’ve updated the Text tool and introduced a new dedicated floating menu for text boxes, including more customization options.

   One of the new tools is Pin Text Tool — when enabled, it keeps the Text tool active so you can create multiple text boxes continuously without having to reselect it each time.

   This is especially helpful when you're focused on adding or adjusting text in your notes. The pin will automatically turn off once you switch to another tool.

   Feel free to try it out and let us know how it works for you!

   This improvement is available in the latest Apple update.

   
   

5. [Colors palette] Group colors, Colors categories, Colors folders

   We should be able to make color palettes for our pen colors to make the colors easier to find.

6. Switch back to GoodNotes 6

   Can we have the option to downgrade from the new GoodNotes (7) back to GoodNotes 6 like there’s the option to go back to 5? I’ve loved GoodNotes for years and it’s the thing I use most on my iPad, but the tool bar and other small design changes make it so much harder to use and it’s making me want to quit this app

7. Folder Sharing

   Feature Request: Shared Folder Collaboration with Real-Time Updates

   Dear GoodNotes Team,

   I am a teacher who relies on GoodNotes daily for lesson planning, organizing resources, and collaborating with colleagues. While I truly appreciate the powerful tools GoodNotes offers for handwriting and annotation with the Apple Pencil, there is one feature that would greatly improve collaboration for educators:

   The ability to share entire folders with colleagues so that multiple users can:

   Add new documents to a shared folder.

   Write on and annotate shared documents using the Apple Pencil.

   View and access changes in real time, including edits, new notes, or added files.

   Currently, we can share individual documents, but the inability to collaborate across entire folders makes it difficult to manage shared lesson plans, student resources, and collaborative projects efficiently.

   Providing folder-level sharing with real-time updates would make GoodNotes an indispensable tool for teams of teachers who need to work together seamlessly. This feature would allow us to better serve our students and streamline collaboration across classrooms.

   Thank you for considering this request. Many educators would greatly benefit from these enhancements, and we would be excited to see GoodNotes continue leading the way in digital learning tools.

   Sincerely,
   Desperate Teacher

9. [Highlighter] Rectangle, Square style

   Rectangle professional looking highlighter. Like in microsoft word, adobe acrobat reader or apple books.

11. Changing Default Font TextBox

    After the latest update, I can’t find a way to set a default font and size for the textbox, unlike before when you can just click the icon and store the current font and size as default. Right now, every time you add a textbox, you have to start typing from blue, size 10, Modern font and change it manually.

12. Please make the new floating toolbar OPTIONAL and provide the option of reverting to the old toolbar

    The latest update introduced an obnoxious and distracting floating toolbar below the primary toolbar, taking up more space and reducing the amount of room there is to actually write on the document. Further, it’s shorter in width, so you have to scroll more to find different highlighter colors, pen options, etc.

    The new toolbar offers LESS functionality than before and I didn’t see anyone complaining or asking for it to be overhauled for everyone. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. Please introduce a toggle where you can choose whether you want this new toolbar or the old one, as it’s fine if it’s an option but the old toolbar that a lot of people liked should also be an option still.

13. [New languages] Arabic

    The application currently faces challenges in providing smooth translations of text. Regrettably, I require the translation feature for several slides. Therefore, I will need to transfer the slides and certain texts to an alternative application in order to facilitate translation. I sincerely hope that the translation functionality will improve in the near future, with the inclusion of the Arabic language as well.

14. [New tool] Post-it Tabs

    One of the major issues in relation to using a digital file, compared to a traditional paper file is that in a paper file you can attach "post-its" to relevant pages which you can then refer to when you are using that file. This is an essential tool for lawyers, for example. So that, if you are referring to a bundle of files, you can have them in front of you where you can see the protruding tabs and refer to them immediately. The visualisation of the tabs – allows for easy access to the relevant page.

    Whilst good notes allows you to tab pages – obviously – there are physical differences between hard paper and electronic paper.

    However, would it be possible for good notes to try and emulate this by doing the following:

    1. You have the option of attaching a coloured side tab to the relevant pages;
    2. You then have the option of "see side tabs"
    3. When you press that option, the tabbed pages, with their tabs, all shrink slightly and move to the left – allowing you to see the tabs. Then, you can press the tab which opens the page – similar to how this would work in hardcopy.

    I attach a photograph by way of example.

    Perhaps, something like this could be considered.

    Many thanks for taking the time to consider this idea.

    Kind regards,

    Asim

15. Last update... a complete mess, can we get a downgrade to the old version

    Since the last update, I'm honestly thinking of quitting goodnotes after 6 years of use.
    The new lasso tool has a lot of glitch, and there is not the possibility to remove the Smart Alignment between handwritten text and figures.
    The new figure tool doesn't admit figures without outlines like in the older version, and this was a great feature. It also can't draw proper lines or figures.
    The new toolbar is so messy, the important icons are less accessible, and it can't really be personalized.

    So please give us back the old version with some improvement such as half circle lines, and circular lines for the shape tool, for the settings give us more possibilities of personalization of the toolbar with shortcuts for what we think is relevant such as export documents, ...
    Let us choose.

16. File Size Too Large (Add Compress File Size)

    File Size Too Large (Add Compress File Size). This is goodnotes' biggest flaw. It is so hard to export to email because the file sizes are ALWAYS above maximum. I have to save to my ipad storage and manually compress because GoodNotes does not provide that option.

    Notability does not have this problem! I may change.

19. Hide Floating toolbar!

    I do not prefer the floating toolbar idea!

    Why do you need two toolbars — One floating and one fixed? It reduces useful reading or writing space.

    Need an option back to hide the floating toolbar and reclaim space.

    UI elements are not supposed to be the focus, content is.

    This inability to hide the added floating toolbar is causing me to not use the app at all!
