Lots of first-party apps are intelligent enough to understand that you’re drawing on top of them, and in some way will communicate with the ink.įor example, drawing onto a photo in the Photos app will actually have the Photos app understand you’re drawing on top of it, and even allow you to save the photo with whatever additions you have added with your pen. In addition to Sketchpad, there is also a new Screen sketch feature which in short allows you to draw directly on top of the system with your pen, allowing you to take notes with ease. Sketchpad is accessible directly from the Ink Workspace, and allows you to write/draw pretty much whatever you like, with support for new Pen tools such as the virtual Ruler, something we know many Pen users are going to love to use. The new Sketchpad is basically a clean canvas for doodlers, note-takers and more. Lots of exciting stuff arriving with the Ink Workspace, but it doesn’t stop there. Furthermore, you can access the Ink Workspace directly above the lock screen too, so you can get down to working with your Pen super quickly and easily without having to login first.
