Selecting, copying & pasting your content

MyScript Notes makes it easy to manage your content with tools for selecting, cutting, copying, and pasting content.

Select your content

To select your content, you have to use the lasso tool:

1. Tap twice on the lasso icon in the toolbar.
2. Choose your lasso type:

• Freehand — Draw freely to select content.
• Rectangle — Use a rectangle-shaped lasso.

3. Circle or frame the content you want to select.

You can also select content with a single tap instead of the lasso. In documents, this works for both handwritten and converted content. In notebooks, boards, and PDFs, single-tap selection only works on converted content — handwritten content still needs the lasso.

Cut or copy your content

You can cut or copy content to move or duplicate it within your notes.

1. Select the item you want to cut or copy
2. Tap Cut or Copy from the menu.

Copy your content as text, math or diagram

In notebooks, boards and PDFs, you need to label your content type — like text, math, or diagram — to make conversion easier.

1. Select the item you want to copy.
2. Tap Copy as… from the menu.
3. Choose how you want to copy the item from the available options.

Paste your content

You can paste content from MyScript Notes or from other apps into your note.

1. Long press with your finger on an empty area in your note.
2. Tap Paste from the menu.
