  1. Ability to tag an outline page with a colour so that I can make outlines in a document the way one would stick post it notes to the edge of a book. The ability to write a brief summary under the outline label which could be expanded would be incredibly helpful, allowing users to write a brief summary of the page.

  3. It would be great if the gestures with the pen worked in the enlarged view, in addition to having a few tools in the window that comes out so you don’t have to go all the way up to change the color or the tool.

  4. Linking is to simple. Being able to create links only out of text box is a huge limitation that makes this feature not only clunky but super limited and not competitively viable compared to the FREE alternatives like Obsidian's Excalidraw.

  5. Linking should be faster to use. It currently too slow to hold onto a link that is generated, it should be a simple click and take me there.

    Links are page based, WHAT if i need to link somewhere specific in a page? They need to link back

    Links to somewhere should also link back. Like if i link to…

  7. I think it would be useful to be able to give a title to the recordings in order to have a tidy and organized section of recordings and not to have always to search between recordings to find what you are looking for. I think giving titles to recordings would make life easier and help during the transcription process

  10. Hello GoodNotes Team,

    I am writing to share some feedback that I believe could significantly enhance the user experience of your application on Windows.

    Customizable Keyboard and Mouse Shortcuts:

    It would be immensely helpful if users were granted the ability to customize their own keyboard and mouse shortcuts. This personalization would allow for a smoother workflow and could cater to the individual preferences and habits of each user.

    Default Cursor Tool:

    I have noticed that the app currently requires users to manually select the cursor or image tool to perform basic actions like selecting elements or moving images. For an…

  15. Currently, the lasso tool does not copy or PDFs it only copies,
    self written content on Goodnotes.

    If you could use lasso tool on any kind of import, it would be super easy to dragon and drop and create Study sets.

  16. An option to resize imported PDF pages would help each notebook feel more cohesive, especially for those using vertical scrolling. It would be nice to have a feature that automatically matches the width of each imported page to that of the current template so that all the pages in the document have the same width.

  17. When opening any document, especially with PDFs but also with my own notes, it would be great to have the possibility to have a separate page on the side to take notes on WITHOUT activating Split View, so all important notes are directly next to the page. Like in the picture but with more space for notes. In the settings you could choose which kind of paper you want to write on and which side the notes should appear on.

  18. I wish you would update the study flash card with an option to upload an image and type a question regarding the image. As of now, I have to do the old school flash card notebook in order to study images.

  20. Changing between pages in text mode is difficult. A smoother transition between pages would be nice.

    Also, sub bullet points. More text options overall.
