    We’re excited to announce that we have completed this feature. It is now available in the update GoodNotes 5.3 for iPadOS (13.1).

    With the update, we added full support for iPadOS’ multiple windows. It lets you do much more than viewing two documents side by side. To read everything you need to know about opening multiple documents, please visit goodnotes.com/ipad-os.

    How to open a new window:

    You can now open GoodNotes in multiple windows to view two documents side by side, view two pages of the same document in Split View, or pair it with other apps in spaces across your entire system. To open a new window, drag any of the elements listed below to the side of your screen:

    - the app icon from the dock

    Hey there, I'm a new GoodNotes user, and was trying the product before I buy. It's pretty great so far, but I immediately needed to search for this feature since I found it was missing.

    It seems what you can do is open the same document in two separate windows, however you must then also navigate the two separately.

    What we want is the ability to see two pages side-by-side and navigate them both at once. So for example if I'm currently viewing pages 4 and 5, if I swipe once across my document I expect to then view pages 6 and 7. Just like a real book in real life.

    There's certainly applications for viewing the same document in two separate windows (when you need to reference different sections that are several pages apart), however there's ALSO practical applications for viewing two pages at a time and navigating through them like a normal book. Will this be added anytime soon?

    Thanks!
