  1. Sometimes we import a whole pdf into goodnotes and annotate some of the pages. it would be nice to be able to easily search and extract all the pages that have annotation to serve as a quick reviewer.

  3. Hey! I know the app allow us to choose new colours and add them to a big pallete, but instead of thtat, it would be even great if we could create more than one pallete for different documents. Like this...

  4. I was recently told that you can only back up and synch to iCloud if you want to use GoodNotes5 across multiple devices. It would be great to be have the option to do it through Google Drive or Dropbox as well.

    I believe this was an option previously. Please, please bring it back!

  6. It feels like the macOS app is unfinished and has performance problem, like lag, slow, sync problems etc. This makes the user experience of macOS app very bad.

  8. This is more of a bug report than a feature request, and it concerns the rotation of scanned documents from my iPad's camera.

    When importing a scan into GN using GN's own "Scan Documents" feature, the user is permitted to change the rotation, crop, and color scheme (b&w, color, etc) of the scan. This happens after the picture is taken with the camera. I frequently have to rotate a page 90 degrees to correct the text direction, but no matter what rotation I chose, GN imports it to a notebook with the original orientation. Very often, this creates a mismatch…

  9. I share my Bullet Journal with a virtual assistant so she knows what I’m working on and can pick up tasks from it. But sharing for collaboration is all or nothing — every notebook and full editing permissions. Read-only permissions and collaboration on a single notebook would be helpful.

  10. Deep links are a game-changing feature of apps like Craft. They allow me to save a link in the form appname://open?fileID=xxxxxx which is fantastic for archiving, planning, references, and other workflows. I don’t want to use shareable links for this purpose because it’s less efficient.

    I hope the suggestion is useful!

  14. First , I chooses GoodNotes but when i when I know the two things about Noteshelf is that-
    1) we can recor d and also import voice record from file and also we can manage on page where we need .
    2) and also individual file lock
    Really this attract me and I switched on Noteshelf..

    If GoodNotes also add this feature in his app then it will be great.

    Please review this feature, I also attached this in comments
    Please find it

  16. Since you are able to select multiple pngs to move at once, it seems logical that you should be able to resize multiple PNGs at once. Similarly, being able to drag multiple PNG files into a goodnotes notebook at once would be amazing ( I heard this was previously a feature that went away).

  17. Since latest update the Camera shortcut is hidden in the IMAGE-section and not as a Stand-Alone Icon between IMAGE and TEXT.

    We need to add a lot of photos to the Documents and now the workflow gets really disturbed as you always have to tap twice instead of 1.

    please simply bring the Icon Shortcut back, thanks in advance!!!

    Best re gards,
    Stephan

  18. Pin notes in a bar like tabs in browser. You won't close them by mistyping.

    I have "theese" notes that I don't need to close like: to-do list or my everyday notebook with some notes. It will be better to have options for pin important notes in the bar

  20. Please fix “keyboard shorcuts” while in text mode. Goodnotes for some weird reason only makes you select a letter to switch between tools instead of “ command and the letter. So when trying to type on a external keyboard i cant type a P,E,H,S,L,I,C,or T with out it completely switching tools and existing out of typing mode. I feel like this is pretty big oversite and is unfortunately the only reason i have to us notability over good notes when typing at times. I can understand if this is a mac feature but as far as an ipad goes its…
