  1. It would be great if entire folders could be pinned to the tab bar.
    This would allow quick access to frequently used collections of notebooks without having to open each document individually.

  2. It would be very helpful to rearrange the tabs of open notebooks via drag and drop.
    Right now, I sometimes open several notes in the wrong order and have to close and reopen them to get them sorted properly. Flexible tab ordering would remove this extra step and make working much easier.

  3. Estaria mas sencillo y tambien fluido poder mover la barra de herramienta de escritura a los lados de la pantalla (izquierda, derecha, abajo), tambien podrian agregar que para cambio de color sea presionando en un icono y despligue los colores que ya tienes en la barra de herramientas sin tener que abrir toda la barra, al igual que poder esconderlo para tener mayor visibilidad y espacio para escribir.

  4. I wish highlights would move with text when editing text in text box / main document as opposed to having to lasso the text section to keep the highlight with the text or having to delete the highlight, move the text and then highlight again. Makes my notes messy as I'm not able to edit my text as easily (keeping the highlight) as in apps like Word.

  5. When using a PC with a mouse and no touchscreen, navigating around a witheboard is difficult. I would suggest having a "hand" tool like you see in PDF readers and scrollbars like in Freeform.

  6. As what apple's version can do, I think it is important to make it easier to import pdfs to the app. In IOS version, we can directly import pdf to goodnotes app in the sharing function, but now, we need to open the app and choose the pdf, which is very inconvenient.

  7. I can pull up notebooks on the outer screen, but can't do anything with it. No options to create text boxes or draw with finger. Works decently on inter display.

  9. There are two very important features need to be there for the sake of productivity.
    (1) There is no toolbar option when the "Text" option is selected in the Windows app.
    (2) The default color of the "Text" option always reverts back to black. There should be an option to select the default color in Windows app as well.

  10. I'm trying to use the web version of GoodNotes on a Windows laptop with a scroll wheel mouse and would like to see space bar panning enabled. I can only move left and right by zooming out then awkwardly pushing the mouse in the direction I want to go, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.
    I can use the touchpad on my laptop but as I'm using another monitor, the laptop is closed.

    Space bar panning is a fairly standard feature for whiteboard apps.

  11. On the web version, when the caps lock is on, the keyboard shortcut features do not work until caps lock is disabled. Can you make it so the function/method that recognizes keyboard shortcuts ignores the case and still works when caps lock is on. Thank you

  13. Hi! I’m a GoodNotes Windows (Windows Surface Pro) user and I love the app, but I’m experiencing consistent jitter/tembleque when writing slowly or making small diagonal strokes with a stylus (Windows Ink).
    This issue is especially noticeable during handwriting and affects the precision of letters.

    I would really appreciate if future updates could include:

    improved stroke smoothing for Windows Ink

    better handling of slow strokes and diagonal lines

    an option to adjust smoothing levels manually

    the same Stroke Engine improvements already available on iPadOS, if possible

    These changes would make handwriting on Windows much more natural and stable.
    Thank you…

  15. I appreciate all you did for android. I want to ask you to add the possibility to "open with GoodNotes" any type of docs. Also importing word/excel/ppt would be helpful, or maybe transforming them into pdf or text

  16. It would be nice to be able to duplicate whiteboards. Currently this option is greyed out. You can duplicate notebooks, but you can't duplicate whiteboards.

  17. Dear Goodnotes Team,

    My name is Praphul P, and I am from India. I am currently building an online educational platform that will launch in the next two months. During my research, I found Goodnotes to be the most powerful and suitable tool for conducting classes, mainly because of its smooth writing experience and excellent web interface.

    However, after the recent update, the interface—especially the new toolbar design—has become difficult to work with. Many of the tools and buttons are now positioned inside the canvas area, which was not the case earlier. This creates a major issue for educators like…

  18. Dear Goodnotes Team,

    I hope you are doing well. I am writing to share feedback regarding a recent change in the selection tool behavior in Goodnotes Web.

    After the latest update, whenever we select elements on the canvas, several options such as Copy, Cut, Transform, Change Color, etc., automatically appear directly on top of the selected content. This makes the canvas look cluttered and makes it harder for both teachers and students to clearly view or reposition the selected items.

    Earlier, the selection experience was much cleaner. When using the lasso selection tool, only the blue dots appeared around the…

  19. The new update introduced a new pen menu. Unfortunately, the menu covers the first line of the first page of my notes. It's not possible to write something in this line without moving it manually later on. Please correct this or make the menu movable.

  20. Using Goodnotes in class, it would be important to have a presentation mode as in the iOS version, where only the notes and no user interface is screen casted.
