  1. Text formatting

    • (Some) Markdown support -- including the extended syntax
      • TeX and LaTeX support (like $\TeX or \LaTeX$)
      • Inline code and code blocks -- I'm not expecting syntax highlighting due to security reasons
      • Links
      • Footnotes [^*]

    Styling initial paragraphs

    Most of the time, I style the first sentence of my document as Paragraph, not as Heading.

    With the current unresponsive UI when using on macOS, I have to click Style & Formatting and change the style every single time. It would be great if the app could let me set my styling preference for new documents.

  2. Lock function is required

    When I memorize and exercise, I want to rewrite the content on the page after finishing work.
    In this case, lock function is required so that previously made part can not be erased.

    Entire page deleting function is required after rewriting.

    Thanks

  5. Among the recent “ideas” I’ve seen more comments sharing links to casino websites than actual useful ideas. I don’t know if there’s already someone moderating the section, but I think it’d be faster to ban links in the comments (I’m not an expert in website development so I don’t know how hard it actually would be)
    Thanks

  6. Goodnotes6 now allows users to link documents, although this process can be time-consuming when there are numerous pages. It would be more efficient if links could be automatically connected when screenshots are taken. Please consider this suggestion.

  7. In the typing mode, it would be convenient to be able to manually change the font and font size, instead of using the "Header 1, Header 2,...etc.," options like how it is for the text box option in the writing mode.

  8. This feature has been requested for years, please at least add GIF support if video support is not possible. This is crucial for many learners these days.
    Then I will even upgrade to Goodnotes 6. Otherwise, the other new features of version 6 are absolutely superfluous for me (and I think for many other users as well)

  9. Ability to adjust opacity of objects. Stickers, photos, etc.
    There are many reasons I switched to Zinnia but this is the biggest selling point. It’s so basic I can’t wrap my head around why it’s not in GoodNotes.

  10. Please - urgently - change the link on the page! With more than 1000 pages, it is necessary to enter the page number, as scrolling is too cumbersome. 1001 thanks.

    Bitte - dringend - Link auf Seite ändern ! Bei über 1000 Seiten ist die Eingabe der Seitennummer notwendig, da scrollen zu umständlich ist. 1001 Dank.

  12. Add the option to have no language selected for text recognition so you won't get the red dots under your handwriting in your own language

  14. I would like invisible notes. Would be great in GN-pages for preseting or teaching. Just an option for a text-field to mark it as invisble in the presentation oder "only visible on iPad".

  15. It’s inconvenient to exit document to open user guide, search and go back to open document to practice. When it doesn’t work, I have to repeat steps, closing and searching.

    Currently Split View only opens other apps.

  17. I think it would be a nice idea if I could create a color palette and then save it. Like, if I make a palette that's full of pastels and another that's darker colors, I could create a "pastel palette" and a "dark palette." That way, if I find myself preferring the dark palette for what I'm doing but pastels for another project, I could easily switch between the two without having to go through and change everything again.
