PDF Markings Not Saved

Hello, I recently downloaded a PDF from my google drive to the Apple Notes App. I mark up using my Apple Pencil, and when I have to switch to another app and come back, about 3/4 of my markings are all gone.

Hello Awt104, 


Apple Support Communities is a wonderful place for help with the Notes app on your iPad, and we know how important it is for Markup edits to save. To confirm, are you tapping Done before switching to another app to confirm those changes are being saved? If not, make sure to tap Done before switching applications. This information can also be found in the article below.
