4 Basic Features This section is called the Tools bar and it contains tools such as Pens, Shapes and Lines. You will use this most to switch between the pen tool and the cursor. Remember to always click on the cursor before using another program, if you don t, you may annotate files you don t wish to and may not be able to click on things properly! You can add additional shortcuts to the Tools bar by clicking on the cog in the top right-hand side of the screen. This is called the Action bar and it contains some more features you can use in the software including Add a New Page, Delete an Object and the Screen Shade.
