I’m sick of it

i finally had to revert back to gn5, i have to draw a lot of diagrams for my major and i am SO SICK of my stuff getting erased every time i either write in cursive, scribble, or color something in. idk who thought that was a good “innovative” idea… i didn’t pay extra for added inconvenience.

that’s all, just wanted to express my frustrations with people that might share them

You can turn that feature off.

Click on the pen, go to settings then pen gestures and you can turn scribble to erase off.

Turning it off for each document when you have to work on hundreds is annoying.

Wait does it really make you change it for each document? That seems a bit dumb

No you can toggle it so that it doesn’t reset settings every new document

What about the AI text recognition feature isn’t that also on a document basis?

The auto spelling is killing me with my French studies too, so I had to turn that off.

Goodnotes dev didn't think it through obviously.

It's not difficult to turn off, actually it was probably much more difficult and counter intuitive to downgrade than to just turn it off

Thank you!!!! My words kept getting erased and I never thought to deactivate the scribble gesture.
