Hi, trying to use Lucidchart on my iPad with the Apple Pencil but I can’t see how to easily delete Shapes or Lines?

Hi ​@Jonny, thank you so much for your post!

The easiest way to delete a shape using an Apple Pencil in both the Lucidchart and Lucidspark iOS apps is to: Tap and hold shape (no need for an initial ‘tap’ to select the shape first) > Context menu will appear after about 2 seconds > Select ‘Delete’ in the context menu.

Additionally, double tapping the Apple Pencil in the Lucidspark app (only) will toggle between the Pen tool and the Eraser tool.

Cheers!
