Apple Intelligence is now available on iPhone, iPad, and Mac!
Hi please help me!! My ipad pro from 2020 recently crashed due to a hardware issue. I use the Goodnotes app on that iPad for school & didn’t have auto icloud sync turned on. When I signed in on my Macbook with my Goodnotes account, I couldn’t see any of my documents. Is there any way I can retrieve my notes on my other apple devices? I need it for my exams pls help😭

Unless you are able to restart your iPad to a running state - and successfully enter your Passcode - you'll not be able to recover any locally stored data from your iPad.
iPadOS uses an encrypted filesystem. Successful entry of your iPad Passcode unlocks the Secure Enclave (this being your iPad's security chip) within which the only copy of the encryption keys - that are required to access and decrypt your data - are stored.
Unless you have a pre-existing backup of your locally stored data, anything stored on an inoperable iPad will remain beyond reach. However, any data that has been synchronised with iCloud may still be accessible from iCloud itself:
If you value your data, always keep a backup - as you never know when disaster may strike, be it an accidental deletion or equipment failure.
How can I access my Goodnotes on other Apple Devices from my iPad if my iCloud account isn't enabled?
