Seems indirect/annoying to have a screenshot that's open in Preview and to markup with iPad, quit the app, find the file, press space-bar, then mark it up.
It would be best to just make the continuity option available when in the markup menu in Preview.
I love the Continuity feature, it's nice to not have to type all the time and draw instead :)
Tell Apple what new features you'd like to see via Feedback - macOS - Apple
Is this an iPad question or a macOS Catalina question.
I have Markup available in Preview and even on the little thumbnail when taking a screenshot.
If you have it open in Preview, why try to mark up on your iPad?
If it is an iPad specific question, you should ask on that forum.
Do you see the option in the Preview app to Markup the image on the iPad (like you do when selecting an image via spacebar)? I don't see the icon with the pad and pencil in the actual Preview app.
This seems like it's more in the macOS Catalina's version of Preview than anything else - if there was a Continuity section, it would be best :)
I have no idea what you are talking about an iPad in the macOS forum.
I don't have an iPad.
I do have Preview on macOS and I can markup images in it.
The markup icon in Preview is a pen tip in a circle.
Ah, I see. Continuity is an idea of handing work between devices (macOS and iPadOS for example) described here: https://support.apple.com/guide/mac-help/mark-up-files-mchl1fd88863/10.15/mac/10.15
I know what Continuity is, I don't know why you are asking about an iPad on the macOS forum.
macOS was the closest thing I saw in the list of forum topics to what I believed most matched my issue. If there was a "Continuity" forum or even better "Continuity Markup" forum that would be best but there isn't. It sounds like you know what Continuity is, are you familiar with "Continuity Markup" that I linked to in my above post? That's the feature I'm talking about.
Preview is an app included in macOS, and I'm using Catalina when wanting to get Catalina's version of Preview to talk to the iPad. This action already exists in macOS (via Quick Look or Quick Actions) and I'm wanting to get the feature added to Preview which I don't see existing (so I'll just make a feature request as mentioned above.) It wouldn't make sense to put this request in iPad since iPad already supports this function.
Why isn't the Continuity markup available directly in the Preview app?
