I had used this function several times, but it does not work recently. When I click 'pen mode', the function does not appear, and also on the quick access toolbar, there is a icon but it seems not working. How can I solve this problem? Is it my personal problem or do other users have a same problem like me? I hope to get a detailed solution so that I can handle this problem easily and quickly...

    Hi, 미소 심. Thank you for your question and reaching out. My name is John and I’d be more than happy to help you with your query.

    When you use Microsoft OneNote on your iPad, you can use your finger or a compatible stylus to handwrite or draw notes. To get started, first select your preferred drawing mode.

    Please follow these:

    1. On the Draw tab, at the far right of the ribbon, tap the Drawing Mode icon.
    2. Next, do any of the following:

    2.1 Turn on the Draw with Touch option to enable drawing with your finger. If this option is turned off, moving your finger across the screen will pan content on the current page in or out of view instead of drawing on the screen.

    2.2. To enable drawing or handwriting notes with a stylus, such as a Microsoft Surface Pen or Apple Pencil, tap Stylus Orientation, and then select how you typically hold a stylus to draw. Stylus orientation helps OneNote ignore any input your palm may unintentionally create as you write with the stylus.

    1. On the Draw tab, tap the pen, color, and thickness you want, and then use your finger or stylus to draw on the page. To switch back to text mode at any time, tap Text Mode on the far left of the Draw tab, and then tap the screen to display the on-screen keyboard.

    For reference, please see https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/8e2249f8-23ff-4fd8-b0bf-693aea21744c

    Hi, My name is Ayo. Thanks for your feedback and for using the 'pen as pointer' feature! Can you tell us a bit more about how you typically use it?
