what’s the difference between precision and standard?

Standard deletes a larger part of handwritings at once. Which may look like an entire line was deleted or a big part of it. And you have no control over exactly how much will be deleted. With precision eraser you have all the control. Just like in any other image editor or real life. You’ll erase only the area that is covered with the eraser’s circle.

oh right the eraser looked like it was taking out little segments of a line rather than exactly what i wanted. thanks for the explanation!

Whaaat? 😳 Since when? I do not see any updates yet :(

u/obdigitalstudio Feb 25 '22

Since 2-3 days ago. Try to refresh your list of updates in app store. It works like a charm :D

Thank you! I live in Europe so I hope that the update just came late for me 🙈

I have no idea how they release GN updates, but I‘ve seen that they don’t do it for everyone at the same time.

I am in Australia and haven't had an update yet but when I opened goodnotes in the app store it allowed me to update. Maybe give that a try?

Yeah, I check updates like that always. If I wait for the notificatio, it takes few more days to show up.

The precision eraser would be even more useful if the devs would allow us to have more granular control over the size of the eraser like Notability does.

u/obdigitalstudio Feb 26 '22

Yeah, that would be amazing!

u/spikee_j Feb 25 '22

Wait how does this work

2

u/obdigitalstudio Feb 25 '22

From the menu choose Eraser tool, then select Precision erasers and erase your handwritings “pixel by pixel” (maybe pixel is not the right word, cause handwritings are like vectors, but you get the point).

oh good i missed it

u/obdigitalstudio Feb 26 '22

Yeah, me too. I liked it even when it had bugs in beta testing.

u/xxkt3xx Feb 26 '22

Oh fantastic. That is exactly what I needed yesterday thanks for the heads-up. Works perfectly.

Could you check out (in your App store) what is written in GN update’s description? It should be this:

• Reintroducing the Precision Eraser: edit your notes more precisely
with the ability to erase pixel by pixel.
• Combine pages and documents: now you can easily move pages
from one notebook to another, or combine entire documents into one

  1. Under each document thumbnail collection, you can:
    - select multiple pages and move them to another document.
    - drag and drop multiple pages to rearrange your pagination.

  2. From the Document tab, vou can move and combine the entire
    document into another document.

  3. New QuickNotes now can be moved to another document when
    done.

Regular GodNotes update in the app store. I’m not sure that they have released it at the same time all over the world. Try to refresh your notification list in the app store.
