    Thank you for your feedback! You can already do this in our Windows app. Click on the three dot menu (•••) under each page to see an option to clear the page content.

  3. Replicate the iOS function where dragging in your scroll direction adds a page to the notebook.

  4. I learned to write with a slight angle as it makes handwriting look better. I would like to be able to tilt my page instead of my device.

    Thanks you for your feedback! GoodNotes for Windows already supports rotating of individual pages. You can rotate a page by heading into sidebar > pages > more (•••) menu.

  5. being able to shrink, enlarge, or stretch the elements in lasso select would be so helpful.

    Thank you for your feedback! Our lasso tool already supports the ability to rotate or resize the selection. After lassoing a selection you can tap again on the lasso selection to see the options to resize, rotate or delete.

  6. 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.

  7. It would be great to be able to work together on a notebook, document or memo. This makes it easier in school and university to write down the content of a group work, because everyone can work on the document. So once everyone can participate and secondly, afterwards everyone has the document, so you don't have to upload it somewhere else to share.

  8. Au lieu d'effacer une zone, il serait intéressant que l'application propose une fonction permettant d'effacer un trait complet dès lors qu'il y a contact avec la gomme.

    Hi there! Thanks for your feedback. You can switch your eraser to stroke eraser by double tapping on eraser tool on toolbar which allows you to erase an entire stroke easily as you mentioned.

  9. Goodnotes application on Android can be released in 2023 so that we can sync our Goodnotes on Android and Goodnotes on Windows later

  10. A shape tool should be added just like the one in the iPad. (When you hold at the end of the stroke it crates the shape)

    🎉 NEW FEATURE ALERT! 🎉

    GoodNotes for Windows and Android just got even better! We're thrilled to introduce a brand new dedicated shape tool in the toolbar that will make drawing shapes a breeze. As you draw GoodNotes will convert your drawn line into a shape automatically!


    We're gradually rolling out the update.  Refresh your GoodNotes for Windows app or restart your Goodnotes for Android app to today.

  11. 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.

    We are excited to announce that the Custom Element feature is live.

    Users can use the lasso tool to "add elements" and create element collections.



    Best regards,

  12. A pencil effect and the ability to change the opacity of a tool would allow for better diagram drawing.

  15. 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.

    Methods for adding your desired images as notebook covers:

    1. New Notebook Creation:Tap on +New -> Image or Take photo to begin a book with your preferred photo.
      Continue by adding new pages to your notebook, choosing from a variety of template options.
    2. Existing Book:Open the sidebar and navigate to the first page.
      Tap on ... -> Add page before -> Import from camera to add images as notebook covers.
  16. I am not yet part of the GoodNotes on Windows beta. This is just in regards to the beta websharing option.

    I created a new notebook to see if it would work for my upcoming Inorganic Chemistry lab. One thing I noticed right away is that the text blocks were not showing up in my browser, but the handwritten (not converted) blocks were.

    I tried refreshing the browser, and that did not help.
    Interestingly, the text blocks do show up in the thumbnails.

    (Also note: I tried turning off AdGuard and that did not help.)

    I tried switching to Chrome…

    Thank you for your feedback! We've fixed this issue now. You should be able to view text on your notebook on Firefox browser. Please let us know if otherwise.


    If you run into any other issues, we recommend using a Chromium based browser to view your notes. 

  17. Being able to download your goodnote files would be a great addition, since you can only access your files while you are connected to the internet right now.

    Thank you for reading.

  19. 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 :)

    Thank you for your feedback. The feature has been implemented and is live.


    Users can access the sidebar and tap on the three dots "..." to add a page before or after the current page. They can choose a different template for the new page. Additionally, users have the option to change the template of an existing document.


  20. Would be nice if you were able to download and insert other templates and premade notebooks, as it is for the mac-version.
