The Library View

The Library is home to your valuable notes. It's the first view that you see when launching the app for the very first time. Initially, it's empty, but as you work with GoodNotes, you'll see all your creations here, where you can keep them organized in different sections for efficient retrieval.

The Library consists of the following sections that you can find at the bottom bar:

Section / Tab What's in it
Documents All your folders and documents
Search Most recently opened documents. You can quickly find your documents here.
Shared All documents shared with or by you
Favorites All your favorited folders, documents, and pages
