Handwriting text with my Apple Pencil 1 on iPad Pro disappears in notes After finishing handwriting with my apple pencil 1 on Ipad pro 2015 with the actual IpadOS I discovered the half of the text disappeared. I didn’t delete it myself. It happened the next day after writing & of course after switching on & off the notes app. What could it be & how can I fix it?? [Re-titled by Moderator]

In Notes on iPad, moved ruler off page, now can’t use it Using my Apple Pencil to move the ruler out of the way, I dragged it to far and only a small fraction of the ruler can be seen. It’s not enough to move it back where I can use it. Is there a way to reset the tools?

Notes needs to show me where it will break the pages I am using Notes on an iPad to write up multiple pages that then I want to export as a pdf. No, I do not want to use Pages because I am using my Apple Pencil and I want to hand write and draw and I don't want it converted to text, and no I do not want to share it as a Note, I want to share it as a pdf. Please try and answer my question not some othe rquestion. Notes presents me with an infinitely long page I can write on that it will then proceed to break at arbitrary points that I do not see while I am writing. Is there any way to see where these pages end and start so I can take my notes accordingly? No I do not want to switch to another Note taking app especially not one like Goodreads that holds my content as ransom unless I pay this is the very reason I want Notes and nothing else because at least this one comes with the system.

Unless your iPad had an internet connection (and was synchronising your Notes with iCloud) - accidentally deleted or otherwise lost draft Notes may be unrecoverable.

Unless the missing Notes are visible within the Notes Recently Deleted folder, your missing Notes will have been irretrievably lost.
