[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)

[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
Feel free to share your feedback and let us know how the feature works for you!

Pls add a feature in which when we put some other window with goodnotes then also we can write instead of directly jumping to read mode and inability to write

Currently, if I snap a Goodnotes window to one side of my Surface Pro 8 screen and another window to the other side, Goodnotes doesn't allow me to mark my pages. As someone who does homework in split screen, this makes the app unusable.

Currently the beta allows me to use my laptop in landscape mode, but if I turn my foldable laptop from landscape to portrait, it turns off the ability to write in Goodnotes.

when I open goodnotes in side by side window it automatically shifts to read mode and Iam not able to write anything on the page

I like to work with the splitscreen on my Surface. But GoodNote doesn't allow the use of splitscreen. So I can't take notes while looking at a document for example or watch a video on the other half of the screen. Would be a huge improvement if splitscreen-use was possible

In portrait format (win 11 hp spectre) the settings for stylus, eraser, etc. are not visible. In landscape format everything works.

In order to edit or write, you need to be in full screen with the Goodnotes app. This is very inconvenient for taking notes off of another document/app. It would be useful to be able to edit your notes in split screen mode so that you don't have to switch between apps every time you want to write something down.

When I send my GoodNotes to my VEIKK display tablet it tells me that the display is "too small" and revokes editing privileges. This effectively makes this app useless to anyone who has this kind of tablet.

when the window is small, it will be not available to write, only swiping the page.
it is not convenient to split screen when wreading and writing
