I'm a Goodnotes 5 user on my iPad (avoiding Goodnotes 6 for now because I prefer owning software to subscription-based access). In my Goodnotes, when I first open up the App, the App temporarily displays a specific random page from one of notebooks I've created.

It's only there for a couple seconds while the app loads up, and then it quickly fades out to be replaced with whatever notebook configuration I was last using when I shut down the program, which I think is normal behavior.

The problem is, the random set of notes it has chosen to display while it boots up is actually a page of confidential information (student names and grades), so it technically violates FERPA regulations for student privacy at my college. For the life of me, I can't figure out how to nudge it so it picks some other random page to display from my various notebooks in Goodnotes rather than that specific page from that specific notebook.

Anyone know how I set it to display something else as Goodnotes fires up on the iPad?

This sounds like something you should be speaking to the GoodNotes developer about. It’s clearly a bug, and not a good one at that.
