Is there a way to disable the annotate function with the Apple Pencil? I would previously use it to make precise adjustments to the size of my text boxes or images instead of with my finger (which I have always found awkward and less precise)?

I’ve been trying to use Pages to create a document on my iPad Pro. I use the pencil to create precise changes to my text boxes and pictures. I find using my finger awkward and less precise. This new annotation feature takes away my billet he to use the Apple Pencil to make these changes. Is there a way to disable this feature?

I find this update really annoying. Now I have no option but using my finger to work with "Pages" documents because every time the pencil touches the screen this new drawing function takes over the document.
