Sketchpad has completely disappeared from Ink Workspace

I have tried rebooting and turning Ink workspace on and off from settings and taskbar. It is only showing me Whiteboard and Fullscreen snip. Did Windows do away with sketchpad, forcing me to login with a Windows ID to use Whiteboard? Or is this a bug from a recent update? Or is there anything else I can try?

    I got this Lenovo + pen in 2019 because it had the sketchpad which I know worked because I tried it before purchase.

    Now that I am able to finally start using the sketchpad feature I find it is gone, and see from the thread that this upset a lot of folks. Was this ever fixed/restored?

    Unfortunately Microsoft won't be bringing Sketchpad back. It was deliberate and was a move to push MS Whiteboard with its MS login. We've been using alternatives like MS Whiteboard, Chrome Canvas, Inkodo and Scrble.

    Inkodo and Scrble are pretty similar to Sketchpad.
