Not able to use apple pencil in notes app without turning on scribble

I have iPad Air 5th generation and I just updated the os version to 18.4.

I am not able to see any markup tool option in the notes app. I am only able to use Apple Pencil in the app with the scribble feature on.

I have tried restarting the device multiple times. Any resolution/workaround for this bug?

iPad Air, iPadOS 18

No Scribble option Hello, I have iPad Pro 11 (1.generation 2018) and Apple pencil 2. generation and I would like to use the scribble option but I don't have it as an option in settings, but when I try to search by the search bar in settings, it finds it but I can't click on it at all. I tried to restart my iPad, it didnť help. What should I do? Does my iPad even support the scribble option with my apple pencil? Thank you.
