GoodNotes 5 Features For Top-Notch Planning

This is my favorite feature in GoodNotes, you have so many possibilities with this tool!

You can use this function on all the items you have added to your digital calendar or notebook. To use this function, simply circle your writing, images, texts to be able to move them or use the secondary menu for other options.

HOW TO DO IT :

• Select the lasso icon (dotted circle);
• Circle the items you want to change;
• You can move them.

If you want to specify the elements to modify/move, you can choose them in the settings menu by clicking a second time on the function in the menu at the top.

Click a second time on the selection to see a secondary menu in black . This menu allows you to copy, cut, change color, etc.

To paste the items you have copied, use your finger and hold it until the black menu appears and then click “paste”.

7. Convert handwritten text

Sometimes it can happen that we take handwritten notes and then need to send them by email to a work colleague, for example. Of course, you can export your handwritten notes as is, but another even more interesting option is to convert them to text.

To do this, you simply need select notes to convert using lasso tool (read the previous point). Afterwards, bring up the black menu by clicking on the selection and choosing the convert option .

8. Input tool (text)

The typing tool is there for you, if you prefer to type your text on the keyboard. For example, when you want to use your calendar on your computer or mobile phone. Or if you don't have a stylus. Or for those who say that their writing is not beautiful.

TO USE THE TEXT FUNCTION:

• Select the text icon;
• Tap on the place you want to write Write using the keyboard;
• You can write directly on iPad (with a virtual keyboard) or a Bluetooth keyboard.

Another magical option is writing with the “scribble” function , you write handwritten with your stylus and the writing is converted into text.

9. Add Images

I really like this function! I find it very nice to personalize my notes and diaries with photos of my routine and activities. It's a nice way to keep memories and decorate my notes.

IT'S PRETTY SIMPLE. TO ADD IMAGES:

• Select the image icon
• Choose the image you want to use
• Once the image appears, you can resize, crop or rotate as you wish.
• To crop, use rectangle or hands-free mode.

10. Add new pages

Ah, this function is the real magic of digital note-taking ! Add pages endlessly.

• Quite simply, go to a page in your calendar, click on the little + located in the upper right corner.
• The “add page” settings menu appears.
• Tap “before, after or last page” to choose the location of the new page.
• Choose the current template to duplicate the current page.

11. Use hyperlinks

If you use one of the products in the InMotion Planner store , you certainly have hyperlinks. Hyperlinks provide quick access to key pages in your document; they are created based on the file and cannot change even when you add new pages.

All GoodNotes features above (1-10) are located in editing mode . However, to use document hyperlinks, you need to be primarily in read-only mode . To activate this mode (or swipe from one mode to another), you need to click on the icon in the upper right corner (the second icon).

Once you are there, the edit bar disappears and you can move around by clicking on the hyperlinks.

Another way to do it, which I find particularly less practical, is to long press on a link when you are in edit mode and then on the “open link” button . This is an option, but slower.

Read-only mode:

Edit mode:

12. Move pages

GoodNotes 5 has another view which is very practical for move pages and create favorites, it's an overview of your digital calendar. To access this view, tap the icon with 4 small squares in the upper left corner. A window with all of your thumbnail pages appears.

When you press the small arrow at the bottom of each page , you will find a menu with several options. Select what you want to do. You can also move pages by sliding with your finger.

GoodNotes features and folder management

All these features of GoodNotes make all the take daily notes , whether for your diary or for your studies. In GoodNotes, you group all your documents and can organize them into various folders and favorites.

In the GoodNotes application you can group several documents. You can do anything organize into various folders , as well as favorites for quick access.

You can find the models of planners, notebooks and journals digital to use with the GoodNotes app in our shop .

The application also offers the possibility of share a document with other users to take notes together in the same file.

You can duplicate digital files as many times as you like . This is what makes digital planning even more attractive!

This is particularly interesting when you are purchasing undated digital diaries , because you can use them year after year. You can also duplicate and reuse any notebook, notepad or journal. I recommend keeping a file with a library of original copies and returning whenever you need them.
