Swiping with the new Apple pencil

Unable to swipe up with the new Apple pencil, so can’t close an app or bring out the Control Center. Any solutions? Dropping the pencil to use a regular stylus makes no sense. It works with a regular stylus. Why the difference?

iPad Pro 12.9 Inch, 3rd Gen Wi-Fi, iOS 12.1

“If you draw near the edge of the screen with your Apple Pencil, iOS won't activate Control Center, Notification Center, or Multitasking. You can draw anywhere on the screen without getting interrupted.”

There appears to a behaviour change in how the Apple Pencil works on screen, at the screen edges, as a navigation device, now.
