Copy or move pages from one document to another

With copying and moving pages on Goodnotes, there are three main methods to achieve this:

Option 1: Using the "Move" function

1. Begin by opening the notebook containing the pages you want to move, and go open the sidebar menu
2. On iPad: Open sidebar menu > Pages >  Select Pages (3-dots) > Tap More >  Tap Move > Select destination
   On Mac: Right click the desired page > Select Move to... > Select destination
3. Once done, press "Move", and select the destination notebook.

Once this has completed, Goodnotes will insert these pages into the end of the recipient notebook, allowing you to then easily re-organize these pages in the sidebar menu of the document.

Option 2: Copying and pasting pages

1. Begin by opening the notebook containing the pages you want to copy, and go open the sidebar menu
2. Open sidebar menu > Pages >  Select Pages
3. iOS only: You can quickly select/deselect a row of pages by swiping across it. Tap Select All to select all the pages, for example when you want to merge the entire document into another.
4. Tap Copy.
5. Open the destination document
6. Tap on the Add Page icon near the top-right corner, choose Before / After / Last Page if you respectively want to insert the copied pages before the current page, after the current page, or as the last page.
7. Tap Paste Page(s).

Option 3: Dragging and dropping (iOS only)

Using Split View, you can drag and drop pages from one document to another.

1. Open the source document.
2. Open the destination document.
3. Tap the small split screen icon on either document's tab, and choose Open in New Window.
4. In each window, Open Side bar > Pages view.
5. Depending on if you want to move one or multiple pages, the next step can vary slightly:
   • To copy a single page: drag its thumbnail to the other window. A green plus icon will appear on the top-right corner of the thumbnail you're holding, signifying a copy action. Continue dragging the thumbnail to a new location in the destination document and release your finger.
   • To copy multiple pages: while holding a page thumbnail with one finger, tap any other page thumbnail with another finger to include it for copying, then drop the group of pages in the destination document normally. 
6. Delete the original pages in the source document if you want to move them instead.

Option 4: Selecting the direct file/folder

You can move the document or folder by tapping the name of the file from the Documents screen.

1. Tap the document title in the Documents page (you'll see a drop-down arrow) > Select Move
2. Search, filter or sort can be used to make finding the destination easier.
3. Once you've found your destination, tap "Move to..." to confirm.
