  1. Allow the changing of paper style for an entire document

    When writing one often uses lined/grid paper. However, when printing it would be useful if the background is a plain white paper. It would be really useful if one could change the paper template of all pages at once and not only individual pages.

  2. Reformat handwritten text by simply highlighting - color, pen type etc.

    Allow the ability to reformat/re-color text via simply highlighting with a tool (similar to highlighter) rather than having to lasso and change the color.

  3. Chrome browser extension to quickly add resources from web to notability

    I have been using goodnotes for almost three years now. One thing I feel is lacking from GoodNotes is the functionality of cross-platforms compatibility. One note has a chrome browser extension for web grab which adds the web to your notes directly. I think it would be super useful for goodnotes class notes taking

  5. Text analysis: enable coding / tagging of text passages

    I use GoodNotes for my studies and often have to summarize texts / papers or analyze them with regards to specific topics. What would be really helpful there if you can mark and associate specific parts of the text (e.g., some words, a sentence, etc.) with a chosen term ("tag" / "code") and have a view where you can filter for all of the passages marked with that tag. Researchers use that similarly for qualitative data analysis with dedicated programs (see for example: https://atlasti.com/2017/03/16/make-best-codes-atlas-ti/). However, an app combining convenient hand-written notes and coding seems not to be on the…

  6. Error text

    I am contacting you due to an error in the application. since several updates when you write a text and resize it, the text box is crooked and the text is not in a straight line. if you want to enlarge the text by enlarging the font size, it happens that it stays outside the text box and does not scroll correctly

  7. Be able to add a name or description to the document when sharing

    Please add a feature so that you can change the name of a file/document when you use shareable link. It will only show “GoodNotes”. Which makes it very confusing to know what’s what. I have attached a photo of what I’m talking about.

  8. Bugfix: when duplicating a document, pages end up in the order they were created instead of the order in the document

    Please fix the following bug: when duplicating a document, the pages in the new document are not in the order of the pages of the original, but rather in the order they were created in the original. I.e. if you inserted a page somewhere in the middle, this page will end up last in the copy. This means that before a copy becomes useful, one has bring the pages back into order.

  9. several pages in structure

    It would be convenient to add blocks from several sheets to the structure so that they can then be dragged together inside the document.

  10. continuous scrolling while mirroring

    Allowing continuous scrolling while mirroring full page (audience doesn't see interface & zoom) would make much better use of the screen space during a online presentation (i.e. Zoom meeting). Specifically, I would like the top 3/4 of the screen to be the most recent written material whereas the bottom 1/4 of the screen would be the new material actively being added .

  11. Better formatting of texts

    When formatting text for example by using underline, bold, cursive, the whole text is being formatted with the last effect being used in the text when changing font size. Please change it so that when changing the text size already formatted words are being saved and not applied to the whole text box.

  12. Dokumente verlinken

    Goodnotes Dokumente ineinander verlinken, sprich wenn ich im Dokument „siehe Kapitel xy“ schreibe, würde ich gerne dieses Kapitel aus einem anderen Dokument verknüpfen um somit mit einem Klick dorthin zu gelangen.

  14. Opening A New Tab

    When inside a notebook, it would be great to be able to open another notebook/document in a new tab (not a new window), without having to hit the back button and go back to the main list of folders/notebooks/etc

  15. Addition of iOS Scrollbar (drag and move scroll bar to a specific location)

    GoodNotes still does not have implemented this great feature that apple introduced with iOS 13. Everywhere I can press long on the scrollbar and just slide it wherever I want. So I can reach the last page of a long book pretty fast. In GoodNotes I still need to scroll page by page until I am at the last page. This is pretty annoying. Even Notability has this feature implemented.
    You can see three photos attached, one while using Goodnotes (no thick scrollbar), one while using Notability (thick scrollbar) and one while using Safari (thick scrollbar).

    Please implement this!

  18. Zoom box

    The little blue box that shows up in the zoom box for you to continue writing can be great and also annoying.

    It could definitely be more cursive friendly, maybe drop over to the next space once you start writing and not when you finish?

    Or make it so we can make it bigger when the next word is more the three letter?

  19. Disable zoom feature

    Please include an option to disable the zoom window and the highlighting/selection features entirely. I prefer to zoom and select manually and it’s annoying to have the app constantly highlighting parts of my musical score or to see the black “zoom” option button appear just because I’ve touched the screen a bit too long.

  20. Suggestion of page size depending on the previous site size

    I would like to have the feature that the drop menu "add site" not only contains the last used standard sizes, but also a page suggestion depending on the previous page size. This would make it much easier to insert a suitable page of the same format in pdf documents or presentations to make notes without having to guess or try out the correct format of the document.
