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.

First of all, this update has made the app more difficult for students to use.
Many people use Goodnotes with a split screen — one side for the textbook and the other for notes. However, when the screen is divided, each side naturally becomes smaller. The new toolbar further reduces this limited workspace. Moreover, during class, the voice recording feature is often necessary, but enabling it makes the working area even smaller.
In the end, when using Goodnotes in split-screen mode, it would be better if all tools were gathered in a single area, as shown in the photo. Since most users don’t use every tool frequently, unused tools could be tucked away in that space, and the new toolbar could be integrated there instead. Therefore, the previous version before the update was better.
