Save so you can find it
Read with an adult. You can say, point, draw or write your answer.
1 · Learn
Saving stores a piece of work so you can open it again. A useful name describes the work. Cloud and device storage are different places; an adult helps you choose the approved place.
Closing a page does not always save your work. Some drawing pads are temporary. Look for a save or download action and check that the file really exists.
2 · Worked example
I call a drawing weather-picture rather than untitled. I save it in the chosen folder, close it and reopen it to check.
3 · Your turn
Does seeing a drawing on screen prove that it has been saved? What should you check?
Check your answer
No. Check the tool's save or download action and confirm you can find and reopen the file.
4 · Apply your learning
With an adult, save a non-private drawing, reopen it, make one change and save again. Notice where it is stored.
Adult guidance and safety
Work with an adult in an approved offline or school-managed tool. Use pretend information, never real passwords or personal details. Paper activities model ideas but must be followed by suitable hands-on device practice.
Open your writing and drawing pad
Write, draw or show your working. Use a mouse, pen or finger. This pad is not a submitted answer.
Not saved to your account. Download your drawing as PNG and your typed notes as TXT before leaving or refreshing. They are separate files. Do not enter private information.
Open a picture saved on this device to draw on it again. Opening replaces the drawing, but Undo can restore it. PNG only, up to 4 MB and 4096 × 4096 pixels. The picture stays in this browser; it is not uploaded. Paper lines in a saved picture become part of that picture.
Clear the drawing? Your typed notes will stay. You can undo this action.
Your pad is empty.
Open a UTF-8 TXT file from this device, up to 40 KB and 10,000 characters. It stays in this browser. Opening can be undone until you type again. Downloads keep a new copy; they do not change the file you opened.
Replace the notes on this page with the opened file? Download the current notes first if you want to keep them.
Typed notes are not submitted answers.
