Partial Synchronizing
I've been using more and more files on Goodnote and I realized it would be great if we can select which files/folder to sync to other devices while keeping the rest locally. For 1, this saved much space in icloud, especially for those who has many files in Goodnote. For 2, people can have more freedom in synchronizing while having access to necessarily files in Goodnote on other devices.

Flip/Mirror
It will be a big help for us, engineers, to flip/mirror a certain drawn object selected using lasso tool. Its a good feature for us since we always draw symmetrical figures.

Reporting issues regarding the update of floating toolbar
Dear GoodNotes Team,
As someone who has been using GoodNotes for nearly three years, I was quite surprised by the recent update. Since writing is very important to me and GoodNotes has been one of the best tools I have ever had, I wanted to share some feedback right away:
1. Thank you for finally adding the floating toolbar option. However, the current design has some issues. For example, since the toolbar now sits lower on the page, it reduces the available workspace and sometimes overlaps with the text, which is not ideal. 2. The new toolbar design limits access to tools due to its narrower layout. Previously, I could access several colors at once with a single tap, but now I can only see six colors and have to switch between them, which takes extra time. 3. The option to customize the toolbar is missing. For example, I never use the pencil tool and would prefer to hide it, as was possible in the previous design. 4. Regarding the floating toolbar positioning: when moving it to the left, right, top, or bottom, it always centers itself in that area. This limits flexibility. For instance, when placed on the right, I have to move my hand quite far down just to change a color. It would be more useful if we could freely adjust the toolbar’s vertical or horizontal position within each side. 5. I would suggest adding an option to switch between the old and new toolbar styles. Some users may prefer the previous design, which allowed quicker access to multiple highlight colors without extra clicks. 6. One new feature you could consider is a Night Mode, both for writing and for reading. This would make note-taking and studying at night much more comfortable and enjoyable.Thank you very much for your hard work and for continuously improving GoodNotes. I hope my feedback can help refine the experience further.
Best regards

audio recording accessory
Hi! After the latest GoodNotes 6 update, a small recording bar shows up on the top right when recording audio.
It’s fixed there, and since I’m right-handed, I keep accidentally touching it while writing — which stops the recording 😭
It would be great if we could move it or just have a small recording indicator in the main toolbar instead. That would make note-taking while recording so much easier!Thanks a lot for listening 💙

Enable Text Highlighting with Mouse on iPadOS
Dear Goodnotes Team,
I’d like to share some feedback regarding the use of a mouse in the iPadOS version of Goodnotes.
Currently, when using the app on a MacBook, it’s possible to highlight text with a mouse. However, on the iPad, this functionality is not available. If you’re using an iPad with a mouse and keyboard setup, you have to physically move the iPad closer, pick up the Apple Pencil, and only then can you highlight text.
This makes the experience less seamless, especially for users who prefer a desktop-like setup with their iPad.
I’d like to suggest that you implement the ability to highlight text (use the marker tool) using the mouse on iPadOS. This would greatly improve usability and accessibility for many users who work with external peripherals.
Thank you for your attention and for continuing to improve such a great app.
Best regards,

Ink drawn on top of imported elements jump behind when you try to
Subject: Ink layer jumps behind imported graph elements when selected in GoodNotes 7
Description:
When using GoodNotes 7 (currently on version 7.0.8), any ink drawn on top of an imported image or element (for example, a coordinate-grid or graph) behaves incorrectly after being selected.Steps to reproduce:
1. Insert an image or element (such as a coordinate grid) onto the page.
2. Send the image to the back.
3. Draw a parabola or any ink stroke on top of the grid using the Pen tool (optionally with Shape Recognition enabled).
4. After the ink snaps into shape, tap it once to select or move it.Expected behavior:
The ink should remain visible on top of the graph while being moved, resized, or edited—allowing accurate alignment with graph points.Actual behavior:
As soon as the ink is selected, it automatically moves behind the image or element, making it nearly impossible to see or adjust precisely. Once deselected, the ink jumps back in front again. This repeats every time the object is moved.Impact:
This issue makes graphing, geometry, and math-related note-taking extremely difficult, as it prevents precise manipulation of shapes and curves over imported coordinate grids.Subject: Ink layer jumps behind imported graph elements when selected in GoodNotes 7

Return underlining button
GN recently took away the ability to do straight underling in favor of holding the pen until it snaps into place. I do a lot of underlining of study projects, and that was my most used feature. Now it is gone and it takes much more time to have to hold the pen for a straight line to snap into place. What is wrong with adding that button back into the annotation mix? I am sure I am not the only one who was dissapointed in this automatic new version. Is there a way to go back to the earlier version?

Writing on am image be writing on the image itself
When annotating an image that I imported onto the note, it would be amazing that if/when I move the image that whatever I wrote would move with it as if I wrote on the actual image itself. Currently, I could use the lasso tool but that seems very clunky for such a smooth interface such as Goodnotes

Making site more accessible
Hello, I really enjoy your site. I work at a community college with students with disabilities and I refer students often. I noticed when I ran your site through wave.webaim.org and there were a few areas that could be easily fixed. I am requesting that you use the site to improve the accessibility.

Undo/Redo Buttons
Please bring back the undo and redo buttons in the macOS version of Goodnotes. It is dearly missed by this teacher that uses Goodnotes for instruction.

Infinite canvas is not searchable
The infinite canvas currently does not export as a searchable pdf file. When we export the file, it works like a picture which gets pixelated when we zoom
So it would help a lot if we could search handwriting and text within the infinite canvas3 votes -
Toggle that allows a Shaded Shape Without Outline
Please bring back the ability to erase the outline while keeping the shaded fill after using the “hold to perfect shape” feature. It was super useful for creating clean shaded boxes and diagrams. A toggle to separate fill and outline would be amazing!

Auto-refine/handwriting error
I’d like to suggest that GoodNotes add an auto-refine or handwriting smoothing feature that subtly corrects small imperfections in handwriting without changing the user’s natural writing style.
Currently, when writing with the Apple Pencil using the ballpoint pen, I’ve noticed that the strokes sometimes add unwanted flicks or extra lines at the end of letters, which makes the handwriting look less clean and natural, this is extremely irratating as on other app my handwriting doesnt appear to be like that. Even with the stability setting at zero, it still happens, and it disrupts the flow of writing, especially for users who write quickly or use cursive.
An auto-refine option (or an improved stabilization engine) could help automatically clean up these flicks and overlines while keeping the handwriting authentic and responsive.
It would be great if this feature could be adjustable, so users could choose how much correction or refinement is applied depending on their writing style.

Find and replace text
For long text documents, it would be helpful to have a find and replace option. I have a document, for example, that has 124 instances of the same name that needs to be changed. Right now, I can only do it manually in Goodnotes 6.

Screenshot
Each newest verion of the app makes things worse and worse. Before this latest update if you selected the lasso tool and had handwriting seletion off when you took a screenshot the handwriting would be omitted from the screenshot. Now even with handwriting seleted off you take a screenshot and it includes the handwriting. What is the point of not selecting handwriting if it is still showing in the screenshot?
If I hadn't spent $30 and had years of notes for school, I would switch apps. I am so disapointed with what this app has become. They're just pushing AI features that no one seems to use or even want and trying to get everyone's money instead of focusing on what the heart of the app is...taking notes.

Typing/Text Box Needs Improvement
I enjoy typing most of my notes but then adding drawings/figures underneath them, but I find the text feature to be lacking and very frustrating. Specifically the bullet point list needs to be updated and there should be more options to tab lists (like on google docs). Also sometimes when I go back into a text box it will start typing the letters below the previous word. I just find the text box feature super glitchy and could be improved.

Add links to photos instead of just text
I’d like to be able to attach links to photos so I can add cute “buttons” to my notebooks that jump to other pages instead of just boring text.

Toolbar as a Toolbar and not as a hiding mechanism.
Please remove this ridiculous toolbar.
The toolbar is an essential place to find your tools - The way you could customize it was just great - Also it did not hide content behind a floating thingy.
Your decision to hide the ruler behind another tap (And just not allowing us to bring it to the front) is another miserable choice. How dare you?
