Feature Request Revert To Previous Tool after switching to Eraser with a Second Squeeze gesture
I would really appreciate it it an option can be added to the squeeze gesture: When I initiate the squeeze gesture to switch to eraser, I don't want to keep holding my Apple Pencil to retain the eraser; instead, I would prefer a second squeeze to revert me back to my previous pen tool, so that I can erase contents in a relaxed state rather than holding the squeeze gesture constantly.

Question How to make Backups in One Drive?
I used to have a Pro Account and switched back to classic some time ago. Also I activated Notability Cloud, these things may have to do with my problem?
Up until March I used to backup my notes to One Drive. This is still activated in my settings. When I look at One Drive, there are only files up until March this year. As a test I deleted the backup and switched it on and off. Now there are no notability files in One Drive anymore? How do I get it to sync? Thank you!

Feature Request Squeeze pallette customisation
Would it be possible to add an option to change the tools in the squeeze pallette? I never use the pencil but use the laser pointer all the time so it would be really useful to be able to have the pointer in the squeeze pallette instead of the pencil !

Feature Request In-App Snip/Screenshot Tool
Would it be possible to make a tool that we can take in-app screenshots with, copy the image and paste it onto the document. Without having the image saved to our device.
Would be great for used such as separating questions/information on worksheets.
I believe Goodnotes also has a similar feature. Scribble to erase would be great too, thank you!

Bug Notability 16.13.2 freezing and deleting opened note on iOS 27.0.1
Notability automatically updated two days ago, and it seemed fine when I was still running iOS 26. I updated to iOS 27.0.1 yesterday, and today I've twice now had Notability show me a partially open note with a spinning blue circle that doesn't go away. Force quitting the app and reopening it gets the program working again, but the note is gone. Can't find it in search, and it's not listed under "recently deleted," either. I do not have sync enabled with either iCloud or Notability's own service.
Posting as a warning to others: I'm not sure if you'll be 100% safe with this, but don't shift to another program or luck your screen with a note open. Back out to your directory of notes before doing any of those things.
If anyone knows a way to get the notes back, I'd appreciate it. Otherwise, I've read the horror stories of note loss before, but in all my 15 or so years of using Notability it never happened to me. I'm not sure I'll be able to trust the app again after today.

Bug Features missing on android app
Just purchased classic lifetime subscription because i wanted my pdfs and notes to sync with my android phone and ipad.
To my surprise, you cannot view document outlines or table of contents in android app. This is a basic feature that every other document reader has.
Text of pdf books is non selectable while it is on my ipad.
Search within document or global search doesn't work on android.
Can someone clarify...are these features have been purposefully omitted or these are just bugs?
