The Eraser Tool lets you erase digital ink and highlighting from the page. Simply drag your finger or stylus across the ink that you want to erase. You can set the Eraser radius in the right-hand side section of the Toolbar.
Within the Eraser Tool, there are a number of different options you can select, including Precision Eraser, Standard Eraser and Stroke Eraser. To access these, simply double-tap the Eraser Tool to bring up further options.
Below is a breakdown of these different settings and styles of Eraser that are available:
Eraser Styles
-
Precision Eraser: This Eraser offers the most precise way to get rid of even the smallest of details! This is great if you want to clean up individual lines or flaws in your writing or drawing.
-
Standard Eraser: This is our default Eraser - which offers an efficient, mark-free erasing experience. It erases chunks of a line, leaving the new stroke endings in the same style as the Pen style you were using.
-
Stroke Eraser: This Eraser allows you to erase entire strokes from the page just by touching them once - which is great for erasing big chunks of writing or drawings, or to remove entire shapes from your page.
In this example image below, the object eraser was able to erase the whole strokes in the centre of these series of lines, simply by single-tapping each of them!
Use the Pen Tool to Erase
You can also use the Pen Tool to scribble over your strokes and erase them. Please see this article for more information: Scribble to Erase Handwriting
Settings
Other than different Eraser styles, the Eraser settings menu will give you other options you can use:
- Erase Highlighter Only: If enabled, it allows you to erase only the highlighting, ignoring all other Pen Tool strokes.
- Clear Page: This clears the whole page. The same command can be found in the More menu (...).
- Auto-Deselect: If enabled, the tool will automatically be switched to the last used tool as soon as you lift up your stylus.
