    [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.

    Hi Goodnotes team & community,

    I’m a longtime user and really love the flexibility of handwriting in the app. One feature I keep wishing for—especially when working on complex study notes or sketching diagrams—is the ability to create and toggle between layers, similar to how it's done in drawing apps like Procreate.

    Specifically, I’d love to:

    Create multiple handwriting layers within a single page

    Hide/show layers to focus on different content (e.g. lecture notes vs. personal annotations)

    Reorder or lock layers to prevent accidental edits

    Is anything like this currently in development or being considered? Would love to hear if others would find this useful too!

    Thanks,
