Success Criteria

• Next action available: You can choose a pen type or start drawing on the sheet.

Tips While Using

• Common mistake: If no spreadsheet file is open first, you may not reach the Brush workflow.

2. Choose a markup type and start drawing

Entry path: Tools → Brush → Markup type

1. After entering the Brush interface, review the available markup types.
2. Select Draw Notes, Highlight, Strikethrough, Underline, or Signature.
3. Drag your finger or stylus above the spreadsheet to draw.
4. Adjust the marked area as needed to complete the annotation.

Success Criteria

• Interface result: The selected ink or markup appears above the spreadsheet.
• Next action available: You can switch to another markup type or change the style settings.

Tips While Using

• Common mistake: Underline and Strikethrough are often used for emphasis, so confirm the target area before drawing.
• Environment note: Finger input may offer less precise control than a stylus.

3. Change Brush options

Entry path: Brush editing interface → Drawing board button at the lower left

1. In the Brush editing interface, tap the drawing board button at the lower left.
2. Select a standard pen or brush in the options panel.

Success Criteria

• Interface result: The current brush style, color, or tip effect is updated.
• Next action available: New strokes will follow the updated settings.

Tips While Using

• Common mistake: After changing styles, test one stroke in a blank area before marking important content.
• Environment note: Touch precision can vary by device and may affect stroke detail.
