Works well, but updates make it worse

This was a game changer during the pandemic! I used this program every day for 4 chemistry classes in a row. Each lecture was live and recorded, then uploaded as a video and pdf for my students. I loved it!!! Then, changes in the layout and object formatting tools made it so much worse! I wish I could reverse the changes and just go back to what worked well, without the updates.

Super useful way to quickly relay complex ideas.

Love this app. Pen and object usage on the timeline take a minute to get used to but what a great tool for presenting ideas.

I tried to make file as template and then open template and go with it sometime it’s good way

Other way that worked with me is to …
Open the files that working and close them then open the zombie files that freezes on opening ❤️
