Each user can make notes on PDFs, which are saved for that PDF. If that user loads the same PDF in the future, their notes will still be there. You can use an Apple Pencil or the built-in annotation tools.
Warning
Annotations made while you are offline will sync when you are back on an internet connection; however, annotations aren't available to others until they're synced.
Important
The update to support Apple Pencil Kit will convert any previous annotations you have made to a new format. However, existing Eraser annotations cannot be converted. If you see a warning about this, and you choose to convert your chart, things you previously erased will be visible again.
Choose a song from a plan or from the Songs tab and click with your pencil anywhere on the page to see the Apple Pencil options.

In the drawing toolset, you'll find a new Pencil to draw with. When you tap on each drawing tool, you'll be able to set thickness as well as specify the opacity in case you want some of your chart to show through a little more. You also have access to unlimited colors and can also use the lasso tool to move items and the ruler to help you get it just so.
Notice
Notes made in the new version can still be seen in the older version as well, but since the old version doesn't have a Pencil, those will show as Pen notes.
Choose a song from a plan or from the Songs tab and click the Annotations Icon.

The pen tool lets you draw free form.

The highlighter tool highlights any area of the page. As you draw it appears in front of the text, but after hitting the Done button, it blends in.
-
Draw a rectangle on the screen to erase any pen or highlighting within the rectangle. When you draw, you can see what will be erased, but it will not erase until you let go. Also, it will not erase text from a text box or the PDF.
-
The Text tool allows you to type in text using a keyboard. To move text, tap and hold it until it's outlined in blue then drag it. To delete, tap and choose delete on the keyboard.
-
Change the color or the size of the pen or highlighter tools.
-
Use Undo, Clear All and Done to manage your annotations. You can continue to press Undo to undo actions performed in your current editing session, but once you press Done, you will not be able to undo.

While in annotation mode, you can go to the next or previous page to continue making notes.
Tap My Annotations to view other annotations and merge them with your own, or replace yours with someone else's annotations.
