  2. Side bar accessing to the file.

    Hello, Can you add this goodnotes 4 function into goodnotes 5? I think it is faster than tapping on each folder to open them since I have so many subfolders. May be you could make it an optional function.
    Best regard.

  4. More color select "circles" (swatches) / customizable toolbar

    I have an iPad Pro, there's lots more space in my toolbar for more than 3 "circles"/swatches to quickly select colors. If I could remove icons I never use (such as Detail view, image and presenter mode), there would be even more space. Right now, I'm always using 7-8 colors simulaneously, having to switch constanly is rather annoying.

  5. Need some functions back from Goodnotes 4

    1) When importing docs into Goodnotes 5 and exporting to other places, file names become all lower cases. This is extremely annoying and Goodnotes 4 didn't have this problem.

    2) Please allow renaming the filename by tapping on the tab. Goodnotes 4 allowed this function, but now this function is gone in Goodnotes 5.

    3) Want to sort files by types or other orders, not just name.

  6. Exporting Preview

    Just a better view of the file before it is exported, in a sense showing the borders and coloring, etc.
    Would definitely help with making sure the correct documents are being moved properly to where they need to be

  7. Pen-only option for selection tool

    The selection tool and eraser should have options for selecting only the highlighter or pen. This would allow speakers to "reuse" pages for live lectures (for example, in a zoom conference or youtube recording).

  8. Please make goodnotes available in windows 10!!

    I have used many of the Goodnotes counterparts that are available in Microsoft store, which includes Inkodo, Scrble, Samsung voice notes with pen, Nebo, OneNote which the total cost was approximately 25USD. In the end, I concluded that none of these can ever become a rival of Goodnotes in IOS, due to their occasional crashes, unbearably slow speed, incompatibility with pdf, minor bugs, which just increases my stress level. I really would like to see Goodnotes for windows 10, no matter what the cost is.

  9. Changing the order of tabs

    I always work with several tabs at the same time. A new document appears at the last position on the right site. Before the split screen option - which is really great - it was easy to move a tab. With the split screen option it is difficult to move tabs without opening them in a separate window.
    At the same time it would be great if there would be something like a back to option in the folder view which allows to go back to the tabs without opening a document. Thanks!

  10. End-to-end encryption for document sync (even with manual transfer of the password)

    To use GoodNotes in a company environment and to process confidential data, encryption of all data transfers is a must-have.

    Use a standard strong crypto implementation to encrypt all data send via internet to BackUp or sync servers.

    For me it is OK to enter the (strong) password on each device every time or to store it locally on the device. But the data on the external servers should be fully encrypted.

    The system should be well documented and certified by external IT security experts.

  12. Change default text color

    I have trouble changing the color of text. Usually I have to write the text in black, highlight, and then change to whatever color I want. Sometimes I need to repeat this 3 or 4 times to get the color to change. Sometimes it doesn’t work at all. Perhaps its a bug, but it would be great if you could change the default color of text and didn’t have to repeat this process every time.

  13. Not an idea, but looking for help

    I'm sorry to use this forum incorrectly. I'm not here to contribute idea, but rather seeking help. The zendesk on your website doesn't help to solve the issue.
    I have the GoodNotes 5 on my IpadPro and recently I downloaded the same apps on my iphone 11. During the syncing, there is a pop-up message to urge me to update the GoodNotes 5 on my IpadPro or it is unable to sync. Both apps were updated and I restarted both devices. But the problem persist. I need some help but do not know where to get it... Hope to hear…

  14. Stroke Outline on Inserted Photos

    I would like to be able to add a boarder stroke on inserted photos so that will show up better on blank pages. Also the ability to change the size of the stroke, as in wider or slimmer.

  15. page size

    There are many PDF files whose page sizes are not A4 or A3-This kind of the standard size. This causes a problem when importing PDF, which is that the pages added to the document are not the same size as the PDF pages imported. Therefore, I think the imported document should be zoomed when it is displayed. For example, when the page is turned vertically, all the pages should be displayed in the same width, and the standard size of the page should be selected when exporting Pdf.

  16. I need to create fillable form PDFs and export the captured data.

    Most PDF creators can make a fillable PDF with named fields, we need the ability to capture that data.

  17. Custom Colours Shared Between Text and Pen

    Currently, the only way to have custom colours that are the same in text and drawing tools is to manually duplicate the hex code for each colour from the drawing tool palette to the text tool palette and vice versa. I do a lot of colour-coding in my notes, and use both text and writing; an option for a shared custom colour palette between text and drawing would be wonderful, and save a LOT of time.

  18. Even hexagons

    Please allow the shapes to detect a perfect hexagon. It detects uneven hexagons but not hexagons with equal sides... This is very important for chemistry and biochemistry majors

  19. Allow hyperlinking of images and other objects like how Google Slides does it.

    Same interaction as Google slides for making different kinds of objects including images hyperlinks to slides (in this case internal notebook pages) and external webpages and allowing export to pdf that stills includes the links. Also, maybe take an aggregate count of votes of all feature requests involving the word “hyperlink” because I’m seeing several pages of requests but most versions of the idea has a low number of votes...

  20. 页面限制太严重，可以添加批注页

    You can add small pages to the left and right sides of a note page, or just comments, so it's extremely convenient to flip through notes later, as well as PDF revisions. Summary: goodnote page restrictions are very serious
    可以给某个笔记页面的左右侧添加小页面，或者批注就好了，这样的话，后期来翻阅笔记，以及PDF的修订等，都变得极其方便。
    总结：goodnote页面限制非常严重
