Sketch Board FAQ

Where should I start?

Start with Getting started if you are new, or Tool modes if you are unsure which mode to use.

My work seems missing. What should I check first?

Open the works gallery and check Unsaved, recent works, favorites, and the original file location. See Recover missing or unsaved work.

Which export format should I choose?

Use PNG/JPG for quick sharing, PDF for documents or printing, SVG or stroke data for editable workflows, and video/GIF when you want to show the process.

How do I draw over a reference image?

Add the image as a layer background, lower opacity, create a new handwriting layer, and draw above it. See Trace from an image.

Can I edit a stroke after drawing it?

Yes. Use Edit Stroke mode to change brush style, move strokes, adjust points, or refine curvature.

What is the difference between Select & Transform and Strokes Selector?

Select & Transform is best for direct item/background/single-stroke adjustment. Strokes Selector is best for circling and operating on multiple handwriting strokes.
