    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

    Although it has been asked of Goodnotes for years, I am still hopeful that this is coming.

    My industry relies on programs such as Goodnotes to function. I work in the entertainment industry, where it is essential to have well kept documentation of information and processes that should be shareable at a moments notice. But so many of use have stopped using Goodnotes due to one simple issue: it doesn’t offer a two page view within a single document. Yes, we understand that the ‘Stage Manager’ feature exists, but that doesn’t help when you are notating important information in a singular PDF file and needing to directly reference/take notes of the page before (also the irony is not lost that the stage managers are equally as frustrated by this inconvience).

    It has become a crucial necessity that Goodnotes does not offer, which has made us turn to using other platforms that do offer this, such as Flexcil. But the most frustrating part is that we all prefer Goodnotes! We prefer the interface, intuitive layout, and easement in design of Goodnotes, and I would switch back to using it without question if only you would offer a this one feature.

    So please, I ask again if you could provide this feature in the upcoming Goodnotes 6 version this fall. It would truly help many of your users.
