How do I edit content?

Manipulate content as a whole

You generally use The Lasso Tool to select and manipulate content.

Select content

• Select the Lasso Tool, draw a loop around the content you want to select.

💡 A loop that is larger than intended might select unintended objects nearby, too. To avoid this, you can draw a loop that simply touches the intended object.

Once the content is selected, you can do any of the following:

Move the selection

• Drag it to a new place. (It's not currently possible to move a selection across page boundaries.)

You can tap on the selection to bring up a context menu, then choose any of the following:

Cut / Copy the selection

• Choose Cut/Copy. You can then long-press anywhere on the page and choose Paste to insert the clipboard content.

Delete the selection

Do either of the following:

• Choose Delete.
• Choose Resize , then tap the Delete icon in the top-left corner of the selection.

Resize / Rotate the selection

• Choose Resize, then drag on the Resize handle in the bottom-right corner of the selection box:

Edit handwriting / highlighting

Erase

• Erase handwriting and highlighting with the Eraser tool

Undoing & Redoing

Mistakes happen! But take heart that they can be easily rectified, as the app remembers almost every action that has happened to the current page/notebook from the moment you open the notebook up until it's closed.

The undo-able actions include:

• Inserting content:
  • Writing
  • Highlighting
  • Pasting clipboard content
• Removing content:
  • Erasing handwriting/highlighting
  • Deleting / Cutting content
  • Clearing the page
• Changing content:
  • Resizing / Moving / Rotating content

Undo an action

• Tap the Undo icon, which shows an arrow pointing left on the toolbar.

Redo an action

• Tap the Redo icon, which shows an arrow pointing right on the toolbar.

Some actions are not currently undo-able with the Undo/Redo icons. For example:

• Inserting a new page
• Rotating the current page
• Deleting the current page
