What is the 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.

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