  1. Not sure how to describe this. But it is a hassle sometimes, that whenever i draw a graph for example and use different colors and sizes etc. to annotate it and then release i need to erase something which happens to cross over the lines of my graph, the graph would get erased as well.

    So maybe an option to pin something like on Canva so it can‘t be edited anymore.

  2. It would be nice if there were a way to index all pages written and make them available where one finds Thumbnails / Favorites / Outlines a way to go quickly review and find.

    I will use when I have a normal document with a lot of pages, and I have to write some notes, o highlight something, and then quickly find in the documents my notes.

  3. GN5 has three tabs to find documents: Documents, Search and Favorite. It would be very convenient to add a new tab to open recently used documents.

  4. Wenn ich mit dem Apple pen schreibe, bräuchte ich Linien.
    Bei GoodNotes musste ich bisher einzeln Linien zeichnen und darauf schreiben, damit ich einigermaßen gerade schreibe.
    (in notability gibt es beispielsweise die Funktion Haftnotitzen.
    Danke!

    My handwriting isn’t the best, so what I need is a note paper, where I can write on it.
    Notability already got this function...

  7. Ich bin von notability auf GoodNotes umgestiegen und bereue es gar nicht!
    Jedoch wäre ein Verbesserungsvorschlag: wenn ich mit dem Apple pen schreibe, bräuchte ich Linien
    (in notability gibt es beispielsweise die Funktion Haftnotitzen.
    Danke!

  8. It would be great to see recent files/notes I’ve saved in GoodNotes in the Files app on iPad and iPhone and Finder on Mac as well as the Spotlight on Mac to make search easier. Thanks!

  9. E.g Automatically switch black to white pen color when opening a black (template) document
    Or have a different pen color palette for black template document (instead of a global constant)

  12. An ability to precisely select the eraser size rather than just a choice between three sizes (all of which are huge!) would be very helpful.

    The standard sizes for the eraser are all very large and so even using the smallest means that part of the words above and below end up getting removed. I appreciate you can zoom in to get more precision, but it interrupts workflow and is not a speedy or efficient solution when trying to take notes of a live meeting and keep up!

    The feature I am suggesting is already implemented in relation to the…

  13. Allow us to make a custom watermark. For example i make legendary notes on my ipad and i send them to my classmates, but i want to add a watermark in app so they cant use it elsewhere. Right now i use some third party software where i have to put my pdf in and it gives me a pdf with watermark. With the built in watermark feature it will be very easy.

  14. Please add the auto-advance feature on the Mac app too, because it is quite useful but available only on GoodNotes 5 for iOS.

  15. When I scan a multi-page document through GoodNotes or import a scanned document, the saved quality is not sufficient, so that - in contrast to Notify - not all text passages are found when searching.

    This is clear if you look at the file sizes between Notify and GoodNotes during the backup.

  16. If I want to import longer texts into GoodNotes via the clipboard that are longer than one page, the text that no longer fits on the page should be automatically inserted on the following pages.

  17. Currently we have to create a single new page each time, but if we already know that we need a document with 30 or 150 pages, it would be much quicker if we had the ability to create a document with those many pages.

    Also, in existing documents, instead of creating a new single page each time, it would be quicker if we could tell Goodnotes how many new pages we want it to create each time.

  20. I have several realistic brushes for procreate such as muji pen and 6B pencil and i believe it would give potential customers more incentive to use GoodNotes if they were able to write with a realistic handwriting or change the style of their pen. This increased customisation would result in a better ability to feel like you truly are studying. Please do add it in as I have taken to writing on procreate and importing it into GoodNotes and it is a rather inconvenient process/ situation that GoodNotes is well capable of improving to their benefit. Sincerely, Tabitha
