Notes & ink

When to use this

You want to leave a margin comment or draw a freehand mark (a circle, an arrow, a signature-style flourish) on the page.

  • Notes — select the note tool, click where you want the note, and type your comment. It appears as a small icon on the page.
  • Ink — select the ink tool and draw directly on the page with your cursor or trackpad.

Notes appear as clickable icons that expand to show their text; ink strokes render directly on the page. Both show up in the inspector’s annotation list.
