    Hello! We’re excited to let you know that we’ve updated the Text tool and introduced a new dedicated floating menu for text boxes, including more customization options.

    One of the new tools is Pin Text Tool — when enabled, it keeps the Text tool active so you can create multiple text boxes continuously without having to reselect it each time.

    This is especially helpful when you're focused on adding or adjusting text in your notes. The pin will automatically turn off once you switch to another tool.

    Feel free to try it out and let us know how it works for you!

    This improvement is available in the latest Apple update.

    The new toolbar completely compromises my experience of Goodnotes. If this is not resolved quickly, I am considering switching to a different note taking app.

    If I could choose between the old and the new one I would apreciate it very much!

    (It would also be nice if I could collapse the entire toolbar with a button or sth similar while using the Apple Pencil)
