Pencil hover and sidecar

Does apple pencil hover works when using sidecar with an iPad on the m2 chip in desktop applications like photoshop? Is there a preview of positioning, and brush size?

iPad Pro (6th generation)

Apple Pencil for Drawing on Sidecar Hello, I and using my iPad as sidecar but facing issues with Apple Pencil. I can use Apple Pencil to tap on menu and actions but can't use it for drawing in Notes or Apple Freeform app. Any idea if it's an issue with Sidecar configuration or is it because Notes and Freeform app don't support Apple Pencil drawing?

How to set up Apple Pencil, iPad and MacBook Air with Sidecar Hi. I have an iPad Pro (6th gen.) that I would like to use as a graphics tablet while it's connected to my Mac. (Wireless or cable - doesn’t matter). I draw in Pixelmator Pro on the Mac, but I need to use my Apple Pencil (2 gen.) when I work in details. That's where I want to use the iPad. I've done before, but now I just can't get the setup to work again, and I've forgotten how I did it! I use Sidecar to connect, and that part works, but there's no touch function, and the Pencil doesn't work either - ONLY the screen mirroring works. It's a MacBook Air (M1) (OS 14.4), and the iPad is running iOS 17.4. I hope someone understands my problem :-) Does anyone have a fix? [Re-Titled by Moderator]
