Drawboard Projects is at its best if you are using an active stylus such as the Surface Pen or Apple Pencil. However, if you don't have a stylus and need to annotate, you are able to turn on the Touch to Annotate feature and use your finger instead.

For Windows:

1. Open a document or drawing from one of your projects.
2. In the bottom right hand side menu bar, you will see an icon that looks like a hand and a finger.
3. Tap this icon, and toggle Touch to Annotate, allowing you to draw with your finger.

Note: We recommend turning off Touch to Annotate unless you need it, as it may interfere when you are using a stylus.

For iOS:

1. Open a document or drawing from one of your projects.
2. Navigate to the top right hand corner of the canvas to find the paint pallet icon.
3. From there, select apple pencil to open up the annotation options.
   1. Follow the System Setting uses the same default apple pencil settings as the iPad.
   2. Only Draw using the Apple Pencil disables the ability to draw using fingers.
   3. Draw using the Apple Pencil or Fingers allows you to annotate using either.

To change your system settings around the apple pencil:

1. Go to Settings
2. Go to Apple Pencil
3. Toggle the Only Draw with Apple Pencil option.
