Drawings

Start a canvasPro

A note that opens straight into a full-size drawing.

What it is for

For the times the picture is the point and the words come after. Insert a drawing assumes you are already writing; a canvas starts from the drawing.

How to use it

  1. Press New canvas in the sidebar toolbar, beside New note.
  2. The new note opens straight into a full-size drawing. Draw, then press Done.
  3. It appears in the current folder like any other note, with its own icon so you can tell it apart.

Example

A whiteboard for a call

A sketch that does not belong inside an existing note, kept in the same folder as the notes about that project.

Good to know

  • A canvas is an ordinary note that happens to begin with a drawing, so you can rename, move, tag, share and search it, and write underneath the drawing too.
  • Canvases are part of Pro, like every drawing.
