Thank you so much for sharing your feedback. We understand that this topic is very important to you. In the meantime, Goodnotes on Android, Windows, and Web supports most of the major features you enjoy on Apple, though we’re still working on creating a more consistent experience across all platforms.
Since this thread has become quite long and covers multiple ideas, it’s difficult to address each one specifically or evaluate which topics are most urgent. For now, we’ll close this thread to help keep things organized in the forum.
If you have multiple ideas and want them to be actionable, we recommend sharing them in separate threads: 1 feature request = 1 thread. This makes it easier for others to vote, check if an idea has already been submitted, and helps us identify which ideas are most important to you.
Once a feature goes live, we’ll update the thread…

[Multi-Tab] Ability to use multiple documents side by side as tabs
Ability to use multiple documents side by side as tabs (similar to ios version)
3,135 votes[Open multiple documents in tabs is live on Android and Windows 🎉]
Hello,
Thank you so much for sharing your suggestions and voting for that idea! We’re excited to share that opening multiple documents in tabs is now live on Android tablets and the Windows app.
You can now switch seamlessly between multiple documents using tabs—without losing your place.
Any new document you open will appear as a tab, while your previously opened documents stay open in the background at the exact location where you left off, making it easy to jump right back in.
Currently, this feature is available for an unlimited number of Notebooks and Whiteboards. For Text Documents, it’s limited to one active document for now—but this will be resolved soon.
How to enable Tabs
- Go to the Library
- Tap Settings (top-right corner)
- Go to Settings, then Preferences
- Open Document Settings
- Enable Open documents as Tabs

Make it less laggy
so ive tried it out and my convertible laptop is dying inside. it doesnt write smoothly and everything needs 3 seconds to render. my laptop is doing fine so i dont understand why its so laggy and why is it an edge based app... i think a normal app will improve it so well since basic tools are missing like photos and stickers and even writing text! 🥺 there is so much stuff thats missing even if its a beta version! youre doing great but its the minimum we can ask for

Drawn Shape Templates: Custom Element
We need the ability to make shape templates, science professionals and educators like myself are constantly drawing geometric shapes like benzene rings, carbon chains, orbitals, reaction arrows, mechanism arrows, and some really complex molecules and structures. If we could draw it once, and save the shape to use again later so that we don't have to redraw from them scratch everytime.

Horizontal scrolling through pages
As of now, I have only been able to scroll down through all the pages in a notebook. It would be nice to have the option to swipe left or right to flip through the pages. (like a Kindle Book)
