Draw and Hold

Draw a shape and hold for half a second to transform it into a precise shape. Draw and Hold works with every pen and brush; turn it off in a pen’s settings if you prefer freehand drawing.

Highlighter

Use the highlighter to emphasize content. Draw a line and hold for half a second to turn it into a straight highlight line.

Use the eraser to remove a highlight. You can also remove all highlights on a page from the highlighter settings.
