[Layers is in progress 🚧]
Hello,
We’re thrilled to say that we hear you—one of our most-requested features, Layers, is on its way!
Layers is gradually rolling out to Goodnotes Pro users on iPad and Mac. This early version supports up to 5 layers in notebooks. Please note that it isn’t available during a Pro trial.
Layers is currently experimental, so your feedback is especially important. Please share your experience to help us understand how—and whether—we should develop the feature further.

In my opinion, Goodnotes 5 is almost perfect and far ahead of other notes apps. The main area that it needs improvement is in the ability to draw diagrams that are organized and clean without taking ages to do it. This problem could be easily solved using layers and a fill tool. While some have suggested that a simple “front to back” or “back to front” layering system would suffice, a comprehensive layering system in which each layer is treated as a separate document layered on top of or underneath another would allow for complex anatomical diagrams like I use for med school or just simply creating flow charts. Second, the current “fill color” option for shapes needs a lot of work. While it is nice to have certain shapes automatically fill, there is currently no way to change the opacity of the fill. Second, it would be great if there was a better way to fill shapes manually, similar to Microsoft Paint’s bucket tool.
