    Hello! We’re excited to let you know that we’ve updated the Text tool and introduced a new dedicated floating menu for text boxes, including more customization options.

    One of the new tools is Pin Text Tool — when enabled, it keeps the Text tool active so you can create multiple text boxes continuously without having to reselect it each time.

    This is especially helpful when you're focused on adding or adjusting text in your notes. The pin will automatically turn off once you switch to another tool.

    Feel free to try it out and let us know how it works for you!

    This improvement is available in the latest Apple update.

    I can see why some users will enjoy the new Beta Toolbar but its removed vital functionality from before. Previously when the pen tool was selected, many colours were visible at once along with stroke widths which allowed for faster switching when writing. In Beta, when the pen tool is selected, switching takes extra precious seconds which cumulatively slows down workflow and makes writing clunkier. In general, there is less customization available now! The timer tool is removed and I'm not able to add/remove which features I want displayed on my toolbar. Less power to the user is less fun
