  1. Changing the pen type and color afterwards

    It would be great if you could change the pen type and the color you wrote in afterwards. This makes it easier to adjust so that a document is clearer, or so that you can read it better when you print it out.

    📣 Introducing Draw and Hold! We're happy to announce that now you can hold your stylus at the end of a drawing to automatically straighten or snap into a shape. Also, now you can enable the option to always draw highlighter in straight line 😉

    You can enable this by going to advance settings of Pen tool and enabling Draw and Hold.

  3. multiple pages selection & deletion

    I want to select and delete more than one pages in a note. The iPad version has the ability to select pages and delete them, but why not the Windows version? I would appreciate it if you could add this feature as soon as possible. Otherwise, I think I will have to stop paying for the app because it is so inconvenient.

  4. Please add more thickness of the pen

    The medium-thick pen is thick, and the thin one is too thin. I hope the thickness selection step will be increased to five.

  6. Ability to add images as notebook covers

    Instead of having a premade notebook cover, it would be nice if we could upload an image of our own. For example, if I am taking Bio 2401, I would like to upload the image of the Bio 2401 textbook cover.

    Hi!

    My feature request would be the inclusion of a new pen style, that would be dotted lines. The idea is to be able to set the separation between each dot as well as the length and thickness of each drawed dott.

    I hope you guys consider this.

  13. Make Imported PDF existing hyperlinks work

    On Goodnotes for android/windows, Existing hyperlinks are either removed or disabled from imported pdfs. Please fix this issue as it's very discouraging since it works on Goodnotes for Apple .. I was happy after I bought a Samsung tablet to know I would be able to use Goodnotes sine iPad are a bit pricey..I like Goodnotes but with this issue I can't really use any of my digital planners that I imported

  14. Ability to copy and paste pages within a notebook or to another notebook

    Especially now that importing pdfs is available, it would be very useful to be able to copy and paste pages and/or move them within the notebook or between notebooks. For files such as planners, digital pdf notebooks or other documents, I need to be able to copy and paste different page templates at the end of the notebook to the beginning or the other way around. I hope you will be able to incorporate this into the Beta Version of the app.

    Thank you for considering my suggestion.

  16. Ability to add a different type of paper upon adding a new page

    Currently, when adding a new page it duplicates the style from the page before. I would love to see something similar to the IOS Version, where you can either add a new page instantly or add a different type.
    Happy Holidays btw :)
