Notion Ink ADAM User Manual: Canvas
Locked and Unlocked Text: To ‘Lock text’, tap on the ‘√’ icon. This will lock all the text across
all layers. Any text that is not locked is unlocked. Once locked, no text can be unlocked.
Adding/Editing Text: To add text to a selected layer, there should be no unlocked text on
that layer. To lock the text, tap the ‘√’ icon (Warning: This locks the text in all layers and cannot be
undone). Now tap the ‘Text’ link to bring up a text box to enter the text to be added to the canvas.
Options are also provided to choose font from ‘Droid Serif’ or ‘Droid Sans’ and to make the text
‘bold’, ‘italicized’, ‘underlined’ and ‘strike through’. The text is added to the canvas after tapping on
‘Done’. To edit unlocked text in a selected layer, tap on ‘Text’. This brings up a text box with the font
and style options. The text box is pre-populated with the text in that layer to edit.
Positioning Text: While text is not Locked and the respective layer is selected, it can be lo-
cated anywhere on the canvas by tapping on the desired location.
Text Effects: While the text is not Locked and the respective layer is selected, tapping on the
‘Text Effects’ will bring up four effects that can be applied to the text. To add an effect, tap on the
required effect. This action is reflected on the text immediately. The selected effect is indicated by
an orange background. To make the text normal, click on the ‘Normal’ effect option. When there is
no unlocked text in the layer, any effect chosen will be applied to the text that is added next.
Opacity: While the text is not Locked and the respective layer is selected, tapping on the
‘Opacity’ brings up the slider. Adjusting the slider to the desired level of opacity reflects the chang-
es on the text available in the selected layer. When there is no unlocked text in the layer, any
change in opacity will be applied to the text that is added next.
Size: While the text is not Locked and the respective layer is selected, tapping on the ‘Size’
brings up the slider. Adjusting the slider to the desired level reflects the changes on the text avail-
able in the selected layer. By default, the size is set to 2px. When there is no unlocked text in the
layer, any change in the size will be applied to the text that is added next.
Erase: Locked or unlocked text in a selected layer can be erased by choosing the ‘Erase’ icon,
and erasing. This erases any paint content present in the layer.
Color Palette: The color palette shows four quick access colors. The color of the ‘Color Pal-
ette’ is set to the currently selected color.
Switching Colors: Tapping on the ‘Color Palette’ will display the four quick access colors to
choose from. Tapping on a color will set the color. The selected color is represented with a border
around it. To change or select a new quick access color, tap on the ‘<’ icon. This will open a color
picker to choose a color. Now set the desired color by setting the white circle to the desired color
on the color picker. This color is replaced with the currently selected quick access color. To mini-
mize the color picker tap on the ‘>’ icon.
Deleting Text: Tapping on the ‘X’ icon will delete the unlocked text in the selected layer. The
Locked text cannot be deleted.
