Flying toggle with colors
I use iPad 8th generation and the screen is small. So, when I use split screen with half side covering my book and other half with GoodNotes, the panel with colors and fonts disappear. So, I have to click on it again and again to change the colour.
It would be very helpful if there is a flying toggle with my colour options that I can shift here and there on my screen according to my convenience.
Also it will save me time of going to the top bar every time I need to change colours. It would also be helpful to those with big screens who find it annoying to approach top bar to change colors.

Overlay note like a real bookmark
Would be great, if you can create a bookmark, which you can write on and slide in like a real book mark in a journal.

Open Data Format for GoodNotes
I’ve just had a bad experience with NotesPlus in which the app has had a series of really bad software problems.
In looking for replacements, I am extremely worried about vendor lock in where the editable version of my data is locked away inside a black box.
My notes are just that, my notes, and reflect many hours of my life’s work.
Fortunately NotesPlus uses an open data format - a directory structure which includes document names and a tree of sub folders that hold each page of handwritten text as an SVG scalable vector graphics file which I can access and modify using other tools if I wish.
There is as such no lock-in to a proprietary closed database format.
With Goodnotes, the .notes files are encrypted binary and you cannot read them. All your notes are locked away.
Is it possible for Goodnotes to EITHER publish its file format as an open standard OR create an export option where open readable data formats are used (eg json and SVG ) ?
Note that PDF’s don’t go the full distance to what I’d like to see because the handwriting is not easily editable.

Flashcard implementation QnA format
Hey I tried posting this prior but I wasn’t clear enough and the thread was closed so I’m going to try again with an image of how I think would be great way to implement the flashcards.
Essentially there would be a button, either a stand alone button or within the selection tool that will create 2 selection boxes (sequentially obviously), the first being a selection of the question and the second being the selection of the answer (I guess it would also work fine if it were a lasso style too). Please see the image if I wasn’t clear enough.
This would really help convert notes already in the QnA format into flashcards much quicker than the current method (which is also great but involves a fair bit of creating new pages followed by copy and paste and resizing or just rewriting of the questions and answers).

Images are not exported at perfect size from sharesheet.
When importing an image as a new page from a sharesheet it appears with a huge white border. Only tried this from discord so far.

For example, being able to add a template like graph paper onto the Zoom Window function and changing how opaque that template is on the function (to write neater and more in a straight line on imported documents!).

Vocabulary Toggle
You should add a feature that enables people to add a definition to words they highlight. When reading over your notes, you can then tap on that highlighted word and the definition will pop up.

Enlarged Slides on Document Overview
Suggestion: Make the slide sizes bigger and empty spaces in between smaller.
Why: The overview of documents is supposed to give a clear overview for users,
yet the small slide sizes and big empty spaces counter this purpose and make it extremely difficult to read and scroll through documents in an efficient manner.3 votes -

Black paper templates
The dark paper templates are grey. I like them but black templates would be a lot easier on the eyes.
I tried importing a custom template but the zoom feature didn’t work well with it.5 votes -
Document Sharing through Google Drive
I use Google Drive to view my docs on GoodNotes through other devices, to save the my iCloud storage space for other things.
I would appreciate an extension of the Collaborate Feature on Goodnotes to extend to Sharing a link through Google Drive as well, not just iCloud, if it is feasible.
Thank you for the amazing app! I love having one location for all my notes on different subjects!

Different types of paper for cornell notes
I love using cornell notes, but since the paper is ruled, if i type something in, I have to constantly adjust spacing or text size so that the text is not obscured by the lines. I’ve been drawing out my own cornell notes on blank paper but it’d be so much easier to have a template already in place to do that.
Other options like grid or dotted paper would be nice to so that it’s easier to draw graphs.
In the pictures, one photo shows cornell notes on dotted paper (it makes it easier to draw straight lines. On the other photo are cornell notes on blank paper. The last photo shows cornell notes on the generic template and how typing becomes obscured by the ruled lines.

Category shortcut
I just need “categories” shortcut button as in Goodnotes 4. This is THE MOST convenient thing that this app MUST HAVE. Many people have a lot of files and folders. We just want to reach to the file we want to use instantly when it pops in our head without tapping “back and back, and back, and back” over and over just to reach the main “Documents” page first. That’s why the Goodnotes 4 has advantage over Goodnotes 5.

Fix the bug that doesn't allow fixing zoom window return height
When you import custom templates, the zoom window return height doesn't change even when you change its value to a similar value that the other default templates of the same size have. For example, I import A3 templates and even though I change the height to ~30, the zoom window always jumps way lower, a whole unit of its height below, instead of just a line like in the default goodnotes templates.
Many users import custom made templates and it gets inefficient always having to place the window where it should be.

PDF-Export: Overwrite existing files (instead of „Copy of Copy of Copy…“)
Continually exporting my notes into pdf result in endless filenames, if the file already exists: „Copy of Copy of Copy of Copy of filename.pdf“.
To prevent this, a checkbox „overwrite, if file exists“ in the pdf-export-options would be very helpful.

zoom window tool on mac
I would love to have the zoom window tool on the mac version of the application. I use the ipad version and the zoom window tool really helps me take notes but sometimes I need to use the mac for certain note taking situations in the classroom. This would greatly improve my ability to take notes in any circumstance. Thanks.
