Good Notes Tips for Beginners

If you’re just starting out using Good Notes it can definitely be a learning curve! Hopefully my Good Notes tips for beginners can lend a helping hand!

There are a lot of hidden options in Good Notes to adjust things, such as the tool bar. You can access the tool bar adjustment menu by clicking the three dots at the top right corner of the screen, clicking “document editing” and then “toolbar customization”. There you can get rid of certain tools you may not use and re-order the tools so your most used tools are at the front of the tool bar for easy access!
