Plus sign missing in the markup toolbar

My ipad is installed with ipados 14.2. According to the user guide, there should be a plus sign icon in the markup toolbar for me to do a couple of things in the Note app. However, I can’t find this plus sign at all.

Hello global user,


After reviewing your post, it seems like you do not see a plus sign in the markup toolbar in the Notes app.

What are you trying to add using the plus sign?

Are you able to use Markup in other apps like Photos or Mail?
