  1. Being able to use keyboard shortcuts for things like undo, redo, copy, paste, cut, etc would be really helpful.

  2. Just to compile the ideas I have seen.
    1. Shapes. Premade shapes, stIcky notes. So far I've been just making my own templates and copy and pasting, but I don't like constantly switching journals to do that.
    2. Ability to recolor what we have wrote with our stylus.
    3. more colors! Hex codes.
    4. Maybe watercolor brushes.
    5. import pictures or screenshots from websites.
    6. Lines automatically straight or have a ruler tool.
    7. More pen size! I love having the ability to vary my pen size.
    8. Hyperlinks to other parts of my motes. for example,I link to section…

  5. On a 4K display with 150% scaling set up in Windows, it is quite difficult to identify the different paper types when creating a new notebook. Most of the previews essentially look blank.
    Instead of the scaled down version of a whole page, maybe the preview could show a clearly visible portion of the identifying element, e.g. just 2 rows of lines.

  6. Stylus Pen has an erase button, which can switch to eraser mode when holding the button and dragging to an area. It works on most applications on Windows but is currently not supported by GoodNotes.

    *importing dotGoodnotes files(as example sticker books),
    *linked PDF file jumping -hyperlinks (as example digitatal planner from page 1 jump to page 16)

  8. It is currently a little difficult to navigate through notebooks as they get larger, as the navigation bar shows previews of entire pages.

    The ability to mark certain points as section dividers or add headings or any other way to make a table of contents would make navigation much easier.

  9. Hello dear developers,
    I always work with different templates.
    When I work with the black template, I always have to laboriously switch the pen colors.
    Is it not possible to save the pen colors together with the worksheet?

    Furthermore, more sheet colors would be nice, e.g. gray, red and green.
    I am aware that I could create my own templates. But most of the time the grid does not fit.
    Why not do it the same way as with the pens, that the background color can also be chosen from a color table?
    Many greetings Ernst

  12. I've been used 'Drawboard PDF' application, but hand writing was almost unavailable because of the absence of palm rejection function.
    So, I think it will be profitable to add palm rejection function on GoodNotes' Window version.

    Hi there! We do currently support palm rejection feature. Have you experienced any circumstances where any of your palm touches were recorded as input? If so, please provide us with more details so that we can look into why it's not working/

  13. Similarly to IOS it would be great to have a "pressure pen" that varies in thickness depending on the pressure

  14. Allow the eraser option to either remove by stroke or just the way it is
    Making our own pallete (this would include a colour picker)
    Allow the users to have the ability to control their pen stabiliser (similar to that of digital drawing softwe)
    Making our own page templates or importing from the web
    Pinning pens with different colours
    Most windows styli has two buttons it would be great to allow the user to change commands between those two buttons
    Zooming in and out is a bit laggy as well as writing very quickly
    Costumising page size
    Brush imports or…

  15. We are able to import PDF's from good notes Beta for windows. Now it would be very helpful after we have annotated that PDF, we are able to export the annotated PDF. This can be extremely helpful for students submits documents :)

  16. On the one hand, I would find importing files very important. In addition, I lack the function to insert my own pictures or pdf's as a booklet template. There are too many differences in the thickness of the pins. The smallest step is too thin compared to medium, which is already very thick. Otherwise, maybe text fields or similar for typing with a keyboard. In addition, of course, sharing or exporting would be very helpful. Maybe just have a look on some functions of Goodnotes 5.

  17. The simple thing you can ever make.

  18. Regarding the "open document in web" option, I would like that instead of having to copy the link and paste it in the web browser (which for windows users is very annoying since they have to type the link in a random place to being able to paste it to the windows pc browser), being able to directly log in from the windows "goodnotes" web. So there is no need to copy or paste the link and it is more secure.

    Thank you for your feedback. We'd need more information to understand this better.


    Are we correct in understanding that you'd like to have an option to open a document in web from Windows app. If so, could you please elaborate on your needs to open a document in web vs viewing it in directly in our Windows app.

  19. Ability to export and/or print documents would be croucial for students
