Tap on the “Review” tab at the top of the document.
Tap “Start Inking”.
You can now draw and make annotations on top of the document anywhere you like.
You can change the pen color, pen width, or switch to a highlighter mode.
When you are done, tap “stop inking”.

Bonus Tip:
In PowerPoint, you can convert drawings directly into the shape it looks most like. Draw a circle and PowerPoint will make it a perfect circle. This only works in PowerPoint.

The Newline X Series comes with 2 built-in cameras, one on the top of the display and one on the bottom. Depending on your setup, you may want to switch which camera you use when you are videoconferencing.

Using two fingers, swipe up from the bottom of the screen.
The Quick Settings Menu will appear.
The Camera icon will have a red arrow next to it, highlighting which camera is current set as the default. If the arrow is pointing up, the top camera is active. If the arrow is pointing down, the bottom camera is active.
To switch the camera, tap the camera icon so the arrow points to the camera you want to use.
Open your videoconferencing software and it will use the new camera.

Bonus Tip:
Always switch your cameras before starting a video call. Most videoconferencing systems will not let you change your camera in the middle of a call. So take a few seconds before a videoconference to make sure that you are using the camera that gives the best view.
