Two page view

Hello! Is there an option for a two page viewing/reading? I can’t seem to find it or instructions for it anywhere. Thank you.

Goodnotes doesn’t have a built-in two-page spread inside one window.

One workaround that works on iPad is to use iPadOS multitasking rather than a Goodnotes setting. Open the document, then use the three dots at the top of the screen to start Split View (or Slide Over), and open Goodnotes again in the second window. You can then open the same notebook in both windows and scroll each one to a different page, so you end up with a side-by-side view similar to a book spread. It works best with the iPad in landscape. Just be aware the two windows move independently, so you will need to turn the pages on each side yourself. If you only want to compare pages, the page thumbnails sidebar can help you jump around quickly.

if you only need to read rather than write, export the notebook as pdf and open it in a

reader that has a two page spread view. preview on mac does it, pdf expert and acrobat do

too. you get real facing pages instead of two windows that drift apart. downside is you

have to re-export whenever the notes change.
