Missing eraser tool in Markup toolbar

I previously had a problem where for some reason my iBooks markup eraser tool was replaced by another pencil after the app crashed while using the markup tools.

Thankfully, I found a solution that didn't need me to restore my iPad.

Solution: By deleting the iBooks app and downloading it again all the app settings will be restored, including the markup tool, and in this case, restoring your eraser where it was before!

iPad, iPadOS 15

Missing eraser from Markup This question was asked earlier this year with no response. I'm in Word on my iPad, and there used to be an Eraser tool on the Draw menu. Now there are just pen/pencil/highlighter options. So if I want to erase something I drew, I can't. How do I get it back? I have a 6th generation iPad running iOS 15.5, and version 2.61 of Word.

Missing Scribble Toolbar Hi! I just updated to iOS 16 and I suddenly lost my Scribble toolbar (the little Apple pencil icon that shows tools such as space down and pencil keyboard) which I specifically use in the GoodNotes app. Has anyone experienced this? And does anybody know how to put it back? My scribble is working properly, it's just that the toolbar is missing. Thanks!

What to do if I accidentally removed built-in app icons on iPhone Home Screen? I accidentally removed a few icons of the built-in apps on my Home Screen while dozing off. While I was able to recover the calculator from the App Library, I haven’t been able to see the settings icon in the App Library nor does it come up as a possibility when using the built-in search bar. Not sure what to do next to either access it or/and bring it back to Home Screen. [Re-Titled by Moderator]
