If you are a Goodnotes for School or Goodnotes for Enterprise customer, you have the ability to disable certain features when using our institutionally available License Keys. The ability to disable features is designed to help Goodnotes fit in with your institutional requirements better and ensure your end-users receive the in-app experience that suits your business or school needs.
In order to remove features, please inform our Goodnotes Licensing team and we can alter your License Key according to your needs.

The only limiting factor for our institutional users on Goodnotes 6 is in relation to access of Goodnotes AI. For our educational users, Goodnotes AI will function only with on-device features, but will not support cloud AI features. For Goodnotes for Business users, access for Goodnotes AI is available by default, but can be toggled off for Goodnotes for Enterprise customers if required. For the differences between our on-device and cloud AI features, see below:
- Goodnotes AI on device features include: Handwriting recognition, Spellcheck, Word preview (English only), Ink gestures such as Scribble to Erase, Circle to Select, tidy up, Math conversion & Math Assistance
- Goodnotes AI cloud features include: LLM-based typing (Large Language Model) such as Paraphrasing & Grammar checking
To toggle certain features by means of the Managed App Configuration, add the ConfigurableFeatures dict and include one or more keys.
For example, your own configuration will look something like this:
