Continuity Sketch not showing up in preview markup Hello. I am trying to use the continuity sketch feature on my Mac to sign a pdf for example using my iPhone. I have a 14" MBP and an iPhone 13 I can see it sometimes in notes but when I open up a pdf and try to follow the instructions on this page Use iPad, iPhone or iPod touch to sketch in or mark up Mac documents – Apple Support (UK) the option to add sketch is greyed out in file when the PDF is open and then the option isn't in the markup toolbar either. I have tried several pdf documents and I am not having much luck. Am I missing something here? When I did the screenshot it came up on my phone straight away so I could circle where the options should be.

Continuity Markup not working correctly I'm trying to annotate a file on my iPad Pro M2 using my Apple Pencil while reading from the same file on my iMac M1. I'm then using Continuity Markup, as described in this page (Use iPad or iPhone to sketch in or mark up Mac documents - Apple Support). However, when I get to Step 2 of the directions for Continuity Markup, I simply do not have that annotate button. Instead, I have this: On the other side, I can correctly annotate the same file when I start from preview or directly from an attachment in email message. Why is Continuity not working correctly?
