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 agree, I almost only use textboxes for notes and it’s become very difficult to work with in the new update. I can no longer easily move the textbox around before typing in it, it has also become overly complicated to edit the font or anything else for that matter. It usually only takes a few hours to get used to new updates but this one has seriously affected the way I study and take notes. I would deeply appreciate if the old version was brought back, and for me it is critical for continuing using the app.

When using the text box the toolbar will still drop down to the text box instead of staying by the stationary toolbar, very very annoying. In the next update please let the textbox settings stay at the stationary toolbar, and add the previous textbox menu (with only some choices like delete and copy etc) to the end corner of the textbox. Also please remove the default switch to lasso, it’s just unnecessary and annoying. And when marking a text it would be much better if a small menu popped up close to the marked text like previously, so with copy, paste etc. And finally for the fonts, previously it was possible to easily access the different bold, thin and regular formats for a specific font, but now you have to first search for the font again and then go to the format choices, which takes much longer. I added screenshots with little comments to make it more understandable I hope, please read them! Btw start with the right pic furthest down then the left etc etc.
