This tutorial is for you whether you're new to digital planning in Goodnotes or were an avid Goodnotes 5 user. While Goodnotes 5 and 6 share some of the same features, the layout of some of the elements have changed in the update. There have also been new additions, that I think make the work flow much easier to work with.

Things that changed from Goodnotes 5 to Goodnotes 6:

Tool bar layout
Lasso tool options- additional updates
Add page preview layout
Crop stickers- moved from lasso tool menu to picture menu

Highlights/ New Additions from the update:

Pencil
Tape
Sticky notes for comments
Arrange- send elements to back/ front
Time Keeper
Ask Goodnotes A.I
Eye dropper to match colors
Dashed lines

Personal Favorites:

Arrange: I’m most excited about this feature as no longer will planning vision boards and spreads ahead of time be necessary. We can now use the full benefit of planning digitally. By arranging elements and text in front of one another or behind, this tool will save so much of the past frustration I’ve had with Goodnotes 5. In the past when I wanted a sticker to be behind or in front another to add more depth, I couldn’t. Which often resulted in me re-doing my spread like I would in the physical realm.
Eye - dropper color match: Bringing in a common features in graphic design programs, this eye-dropper tool allows color matching in the digital planning world. No longer will we have to know the hex code of the color like we did in Goodnotes 5.
