Creating notes
with your Apple Pencil
is as easy as a tap.
Here are some helpful tips
to use in your next note.
First, let's create
an instant note.
To quickly create a new note,
tap the Lock screen
of your compatible iPad
with your Apple Pencil
and then you can start writing.
Whatever you write
or draw from here
will automatically
be saved in Notes.
If you need help setting up your
Apple Pencil in Instant Note,
click on the articles in the
description below to read more.
Now let's check out some tools
for customizing your notes.
You can change
the opacity or thickness
of the tool you're using
by tapping the pen icon
to open the Tools menu,
tapping the tool,
and either tapping
to select a different thickness
or moving the slider
to make your markings
more or less transparent.
To choose a different color,
you can tap
one of the five defaults,
or tap the color picker
on the right
to select a different shade.
Apple Pencil has some
other useful features
for iPad and Notes as well.
For example,
if you make a mistake,
just double-tap a finger
on your Apple Pencil
to switch to the eraser.
You can also set this gesture to
switch to the last tool you used
instead of the eraser
in Settings.
Now let's say you need to find
a note you wrote a while back.
You can search for it using
a word or phrase from that note,
even if it's handwritten.
To do this, tap the back arrow,
then swipe down on the side menu
to reveal the search field.
Type what you're looking for,
and the notes with that
search term will show up below.
Just tap to open a note
and you can give it
a few finishing touches.
Looking good!
Now you can create
colorful, useful notes
on your iPad with Apple Pencil.
