Apple Pencil not working in Notes app - iOS11.2.6

I’m using an iPad Pro and my Apple Pencil will not write in the Notes app. I click the pencil point icon and can select a writing tool, but the pencil only acts like a stylus scrolling the screen instead of writing. The pencil is working properly in other apps (Notability and OneNote). Any idea what might be going on?

Ah! That’s it. The note I was using was too long and it didn’t auto scroll to the sketch window. Guess I assumed/hoped it meant they updated the app to allow you to actually write on the note.

You are writing in the Sketch part of the Notes app, right?

You can’t use the Apple Pencil on an actual note.
