With a modern look, Goodnotes 6 aims to make it easier to access and use all of the tools you love, and the new ones you’ll discover. This guide will help you get familiar with the main interface.

Library View

The Library View is home to your own documents and those shared with you. When you launch Goodnotes for the very first time, it's the first thing you see. Initially, it's empty, but as you start creating your notes, your creations will appear here. The Library View provides tools to manage your documents, search them, and get new items to enrich your library.

Document View

The Document View is where you can let your creativity flow! It's the view where you can take notes, using several editing tools at your disposal. This is what you see when you tap to open a document from the Library View.

From the Document View, you can get to the Library View simply by pressing the Home icon in the top left corner.
