How do I stop hand from drawing in OneNote on my tablet?

Hi Auden

Thank you for posting your question on the Microsoft Q&A forum.

While I don’t have access to the exact same device (Lenovo Tab M11), I’d love to help. Please try the following suggestions that have helped other users with similar setups:

• In OneNote, click on the Draw tab. If you see the Drawing Mode option, ensure that Draw with Touch is disabled.
• Check your tablet’s settings for pen-related options. Look for a setting such as Ignore touch input when using my pen and make sure it’s enabled.
• Make sure you have the latest version of OneNote from the Google Play Store, and check Lenovo’s support site for any firmware updates for your Tab M11 and smart pen.

Hi Gabriel,

Thank you so much for your response. I've double checked that OneNote is fully updated as of Oct 26. When I select the drawing tab on the app, I'm unable to find a drawing mode option, so I can't see whether draw with touch is disabled or not.

I checked the drawing function on other apps such as sketchbook and notes and there isn't an issue. It's only with OneNote, I'm still having issues with it's palm rejection.

Thanks!
