We are adding a new eraser, which will allow you to click on any item you create to instantly erase it. It'd be great to hear how this works for you in comparison to drag function eraser

From the student perspective, I do not see an eraser at all- I only see the ability to clear the entire canvas. Could you share a screen shot where the the eraser is clearly called out?? Thanks

Hi, the eraser is available in our new, unreleased version. If you would like early access to that now, please message us over the site!

The new eraser is helpful. My students keep trying to click and drag over multiple objects to erase them all. It seems less intuitive for them to tap on each thing. But, once they get it, it works well. It would be nice if the "selection tool" could be dragged to select multiple objects for deleting though. When many small marks need to be deleted, it is slow.

David, please make sure the regular Delete All option is put back into the new version! Thank you as always :)

of course this is needed.. as in the student answers the question completely wrong, gets notice from the teacher and now does the whole thing over again differently, so they need to erase the whole thing instantly and begin again. a must!

Right. Kids took 3 minutes to use a laptop trackpad to click on every little object on their screen :)
