GoodNotes How To Copy and Paste Text, Photo, Notes?

Goodnotes copy paste lasso tool tutorial

GoodNotes, unlike other note-taking apps on the iPad, has a universal tool for copying and pasting any part of notes, typed text, or photos - This is Lasso Tool

Double Click on the Lasso Tool and you will see an additional menu.

 

  • Handwriting 
  • Images
  • Text Boxes

 

This is where the magic comes in if you like to take mixed notes, where the typed text is intertwined with handwritten notes and all this is spiced up with juicy photos or digital stickers. 

Suppose you try to immediately use the lasso tool to copy a specific part of the notes separately. Most likely, you will highlight a lot of unnecessary things.
