Hi roxannedenise,


We'd like to share some details on the numbers you see when using the Apple Pencil with Markup. It does not specifically cover this in Use Markup on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support, but when you tap on things such as the pencil or highlighter, this will bring up an opacity slider which is what the numbers indicate which level of opacity you want to choose. You can find this advisement under "Draw with Markup". We hope this clarification helps.
