Fixed Improved stability when opening and navigating large or complex PDF documents. Fixed lasso selection for brush-drawn shapes. Shape detection now recognizes smaller shapes and shorter lines.

Element Note's rendering engine has been completely rebuilt, bringing smoother, more consistent results across every page. New Place images, text, and shapes above your handwriting, one of our most requested improvements. Reorder selected elements to control exactly what appears in front or behind. Keep refining detected shapes after drawing them. Adjust their stroke style, color, width, and fill. Add natural brush-line fills to detected shapes, then fine-tune their direction and density. Fixed Detected shapes remain editable and erasable instead of becoming fixed objects. Marker strokes keep their natural translucent look when converted into shapes, rather than turning into solid lines.

Fixed an issue where colors were not visible in the Quick Switcher.

Shapes and lines just got smarter: sketch a shape and Element Note cleans it up, reshape curves with real handles, and snap endpoints into place for precise diagrams. New - A redesigned welcome tour introduces brushes, elements, and dark mode with hand-drawn example notes in your language. - Reshape lines into smooth curves with draggable handles. Improved - Shape detection is more accurate, turning rough sketches into clean rectangles, circles, and lines. - Line endpoints and midpoints snap into alignment as you draw, for tidy diagrams and planners. - Refreshed shape and line styles throughout the editor. - Handwriting and localization polish across every supported language. Fixed - Text stays selected right after you insert it, so you can keep editing. - Lasso resizing now stays anchored to the original page. - Fixed an issue where the collaborator button couldn't be added back to the toolbar after it was removed. - Fixed assorted localization issues.

PDF export is more reliable: annotations now stay with the correct page, so your marked-up notes and documents look right when you share, archive, or print them. Improved - Settings now shows clearer upload failure details, making it easier to understand what happened and recover when sync needs attention. - Localization updates make Element Note feel more polished across supported languages. - Rendering checks are stronger behind the scenes, helping keep handwriting, pencil strokes, and PDF annotation quality consistent. Fixed - Fixed PDF page annotation placement during export.

iCloud sync is faster and more reliable. Your notes now show up on a new device in seconds, with clear download progress so you always know what's ready. Improved Rebuilt iCloud sync for reliability fewer stalls and conflicts, and your changes appear across devices more quickly. Set up a new device in seconds: notes download in the background with per-note progress, and you can pause or resume anytime. Upload problems are now surfaced with a tap-to-retry indicator, so a note never silently fails to back up. Polished the navigation bar, sidebar, and sheets across the app. Fixed Fixed a launch crash on Mac. Fixed pages occasionally showing the wrong background color.
