  3. It'd be awesome if the Windows application can support document imports just like the iOS app. Importing lecture slides to annotate note is an integral part of our study workflow, having this ability would help a lot of students out there.

  5. 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)

    Thank you for your suggestion!

    We’ve recently released the multi-select feature that should help with this workflow.

    Please make sure you’re on the latest version of the app — you can check this via Settings → About.


    Here’s how to copy and insert multiple pages:

    1. Open the sidebar in your first document and tap the checkmark icon to enable multi-select.
    2. Select the pages you’d like to copy.
    3. Use the Copy action to copy the selected pages.
    4. Open the desired notebook, and either via the sidebar or the + Add Page option on the toolbar, select Paste Page.


    If you need any help, feel free to reach out to our support team.

  7. We can easly share our „iOS documents” to Windows, but how about opposite way?
    I truly believe its not only me who has the same problem.
    It would be useful if my Windows friend could share her documents with me.

    Hello, thanks for raising this feature!

    Sharing documents is already live on Android, Windows and Web, and you can do it in two ways:

    1. Share via link

    Enable a shareable link, and users can join and edit the document.

    2. Invite collaborators by email

    Enter their email, and they can collaborate with you on the same document.

    If you’re on a Pro plan, you can see their changes and cursors in real time — perfect for meetings and brainstorms.

    For more details, read here.

  8. 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.

  10. 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.

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

    We heard you loud and clear! Excited to announce that custom color selection is now available in GoodNotes for Windows! Now you can choose any color you like and save it as a preset for future use. This is perfect for adding your personal touch to your digital notes and documents. Get ready to make your notes pop with your own unique color schemes! 🎉🌈

  13. 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.

  16. 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.

  17. Please allow imported PDF documents that have hyperlinks to transfer to Windows like it does Apple iOS.

    I have made a digital planner which works perfectly across my Apple devices but my friend using the planner on her Windows Surface Pro cannot use the hyperlinked tabs etc.

  20. 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
