Hi all. Not sure if this is a bug or if I'm misunderstanding why/how it works, but…
On my iPad, I can use the Pencil to add notes using the little pen icon tool. Works great.
But the eraser seems to erase everything I've annotated. Or, more specifically, everything that I did with the pen tool without changing on/off the pen tool. If I write a bunch of notes, but want to erase just one word or pen stroke, it seems there's no way to do that (except via undo, which then undoes everything I did after the stroke I want to erase).
If I switch off the pen tool with each stroke, I can then erase individual strokes. But that's obviously horribly inconvenient.
Is this a bug, or is it because of how pen strokes end up getting stored / layered, so everything's treated as a single object? Is there a way around this? I've ended up accidentally erasing huge chunks of my charts / notes / lyrics and closing the editor accidentally afterwards (so there's no undo) a few times, and I'm realizing I need a better approach
Thanks!
