FAQ
Does strikethrough delete the text directly?

Can I change the strikethrough color separately?
- The strikethrough display follows the text appearance.
- There is no separate control for setting only the strikethrough color here.
- If needed, you can change the text color and then check the overall display result.
Why does nothing happen after I tap Strikethrough?
- Make sure the target text is selected first.
- Check whether the document is currently editable.
- Try again from Tools > Home > Strikethrough.
