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?

    Adding my frustration. I work in a K-5 environment and we use the Sketchpad ALL THE TIME. The new Whiteboard feature requires a download and registration which our K-5 students are prohibited from doing. I have never been so annoyed this morning to discover it...in the middle of a lesson!

    I wouldn't necessarily mind the change, if whiteboard and snip and sketch allowed for the tilt functionality of the pen to be used

    Really unhappy with this "update. Sketchpad with a pencil was a quick and easy way to do simple sketches, and I used it daily. The replacements are downgrades in every sense. Pretty baffling decision overall.
