Want an Expandable Margins for Annotations

I have been using Notability since my college days, and as a law student, it has been an invaluable tool for reading cases and making notes. However, I often find that PDF documents have limited space for annotations, and adding a new page below is not always convenient for reviewing my remarks. I would love to see a feature that allows users to extend the page sideways, creating additional space for annotations next to each paragraph rather than at the bottom of the page. This would make it much easier to keep notes organized and contextually relevant. Overall, I am very satisfied with the app’s functionality!

Notability Re-loads all notes every time I open the app. Even if it was in the background.

I am a tech director at a school with 600 of these on iPads and iCloud is terrible with Notability and Notability won’t even respond to tickets I had in for months.

This means they are in iCloud but not downloaded for one of a few reasons. With iCloud on it doesn’t believe any of your notes belong to your iPad and it can delete them and download them again at any time. I have single students with 5GB of notes so this is a huge problem. This can even happen mid note, it just disappears. This is with students with 200GB if iCloud and 128GB of iPad storage so no issues. If you run out of iCloud or iPad storage you may lose some of those notes permanently. Notability has not been able to show me a way to sync only some parts of your notes. They did respond to tell me iCloud was not an acceptable backup only a sync.

If you turn off iCloud this goes away, and can download the notes to your iPad. If you turn on iCloud again they will be back on the sync cache and could disappear.
