Ink Overlay : An "ink overlay" will open on the screen when you pick up a pen. This is a layer that appears on top of your current windows for you to write on the board. ERASER: To erase your digital ink, remove the eraser from the pen tray and move it in a smooth motion over your notes. TIP: To clear a large area of digital ink, draw a circle around the area you want to erase with the eraser and tap once inside that area. All digital ink inside that circle will disappear.
