Scribble is a truly impressive feature right out of the gate, and it plays a very important role in the other major Apple Pencil-related features coming to the Notes app this fall. You can reposition this palette just as you can the one for Markup in apps that support that feature. Opening the palette will show you a small set of controls like Undo, as well as a button to bring up the software keyboard. Scribble also has a palette of common actions for your app that you can access by tapping the pencil icon in one of the corners of your screen, usually the bottom-left corner. Touch and hold the Apple Pencil tip between two words to add a space. Circling a word with the Pencil will select it for copying or pasting. Scratching out a word in your typed text using the Apple Pencil's tip will see that word deleted. While I'm sure there are things developers will be able to do to optimize the experience for their apps, it works very well, even at this early stage. In my testing of iPadOS 14, I have found the Scribble is already working with third-party apps right now, without any updates. But it's not just Apple's own apps that are playing nice with Scribble out of the gate. Write in the compose field in Messages, or the address bar in Safari, and Scribble works nearly flawlessly, even for my crummy handwriting. And when I say "any text field," I mean it.
