How do I delete hand drawn doodles without deleting whole note?

Was experimenting with pencil function in notes. Now I can’t remove it and keep long note.

Deleting a sketch should be easy. While you can use the eraser tool to selectively delete drawn elements, this won't erase the full sketch/doodle.


To remove a sketch from your note, just double-tap with your finger to select all of the objects in the sketch. Next touch-and-hold with your finger (i.e., a long-touch) to expose the Action bar/menu; select Delete.


That's it. You're done.
