I switched from Notability and I’m trying to recreate a workflow I used all the time.

For example, let’s say I hand-draw a table with the pen tool. Once I’m done, I want to “lock” or flatten that drawing so I can write inside the cells without accidentally erasing the table.

In Notability, I could essentially paste it as a non-editable object (like an image), so the eraser would only erase my new handwriting—not the original table.

Here’s a quick example of what I mean:

• Left: Original handwritten drawing.
• Middle: Copied as editable ink (eraser removes the strokes).
• Right: What I’m looking for—a pasted version that behaves like a single image/object, so the eraser can’t erase individual strokes.

(Image attached.)

Is there any way to do this entirely within GoodNotes, without exporting the page as a flattened PDF or image and then re-importing it?

If not, is there another workflow you use for creating reusable templates like hand-drawn tables?

I noticed my T-Mobile bill has a $2.10 Regulatory Programs & Telco Recovery Fee on my iPad line, but not on my two phone lines.

The iPad was bought outright from Best Buy (not through T-Mobile), and there are no promos or financing.

Not complaining about getting charged 😂—just wondering why only the iPad line has this fee. Is this normal for tablet/data-only lines?

Update: Phone lines are on 5G Go More since 2023, I recently got the iPad in May 2026.
