  1. “Open documents as new tabs” option is a great tool but i would preferred that instead of all documents being open as new tabs only documents or notes or pages within a Currently open document would open as new tabs so you could toggle within that folder faster while looking at folders within folders. The way it is now it’s a bit cluttered and confusing because you get confused and don’t know where those tabs belong in just by looking at the titles if that makes any sense, thank you.

  3. 将搜索内容的功能加入正在阅读的pdf文件(在红圈标记的地方加入搜索功能)。而不是统一在所有文件中搜索想要搜索的内容
    adding search function in a particular document (adding it in the regions marked by red circle in the picture.) , rather than just search content in all of the documents.

  4. I would like to submit an idea that would greatly improve the organization and special features of the app for IPad users. I was thinking of an option in settings where you can write your “ideal” alphabet (you write each letter in your best handwriting) so that when you are writing your notes it identifies the letter/number and it automatically changes to that ideal handwriting. This can give ones notes and handwriting consistency and an atheistically neat and organized look

  5. My students are preparing for the AP Language and Composition exam from home now. Annotating texts and sources is critical to this. I can’t ask them to pay for the service but this app could save us all! Please help.

  8. so that we can use two options-one like prior goodnotes 4, less useing upper space, but little pen options made up of those we use oftern. The other the tool bar just like nowadays.

    The bug I think is abut device storage. When I write on my document(automatic backup in ondrive on, no icloud) and check available ipad storage in file app, from 300MB to 1 GB of available storage decreases and this storage does not return. The size of the document is 8MB. This happens only after using goodnotes in my device.(I haven't checked in other devices yet) This…

  10. I would have Intelligent Inserting Options:
    - Inserting something you copied from above I wish to be able to align the Thing I copied from above with those things. To be able to achieve that I would show up a dotted line downward or if I insert it right to the copied one to have a dotted light horizontally to align all the things. Optional the dotted line is "magnetic" so it pull the thing you want to insert to the dotted reference line, but if you pull it away the reference line disappears

    • when you insert something and want…

  11. Currently, in MacOS, you can only select an element if you are on the appropriate tool. Meaning you have to change tools to select an element.

    IpadOS is better a long press gives you the option to zoom or edit - the zoom option seems a little redundant when it's easy to press the zoom button and drag the box. I feel it would be better if it just defaulted to "edit". Maybe this could be a preference option if there are people who use the zoom box a lot.

  19. Hello everybody,

    I'm new to GoodNotes, great job. Many thanks for this app!

    Following is a feature request:

    What bothers me is the limitation that you can only create pages in one direction. I have attached a PDF to you. Let's assume I have a notebook with vertical orientation (blue path). But now I would like to be able to add pages on the horizontal axes (green path). The export/print view is secondary for me. The optimal solution would be to branch vertically from the secondary pages again, etc., so that you can build paths if needed.

    I am aware…
