    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.

    This new update ruined the feature I used the most - straight line tool. The hold to snap does not work the same way. I use this for drawing basic building plans all the time and now it is terrible. I draw a small straight line and it puts a long straight line in a completely random place. I draw a short straight line and it makes it really long and curved in a place I didn't even draw it. The ruler is very difficult to move around as well. Please please please bring back the straight line feature in the shape bar. The toolbar layout was perfectly fine the way it was. I will switch to a different app if I can't get this to do what I need it to do. I don't mind adding features, but you can't just take away a feature - people are using it for those specific features.
