Writing, drawing, and erasing

The display includes two pens, which you can use to write or draw in digital ink. You can erase digital ink using gestures or the eraser tool in the apps.

Note 

Hold the pens at a right angle to the display as you write or draw. If you hold a pen more than 45° from perpendicular to the display, the display might interpret the pen as a finger.

  1. Pick up one of the display’s pens.

  2. Use the pen to write or draw in digital ink.
