Toolbar option

Allows you to

Activate Scribble Pad  De-Activate Scribble Pad
Activate /    De-Activate Scribble Pad

Switch the scribble pad layer on and off.  De-activating / hiding the scribble pad layer does not save the contents automatically, it just removes the scribble layer so you can see your map without it.

        Move To Back / Front Move the scribble pad layer behind the node and link layers, so you can access standard map node or link options. You can switch it back to the front again when ready to do more scribbling. The button always reflects the current position of the Scribble layer, and pressing it, reverses the position.
Save Scribble Pad  Save Scribble Pad Save the scribble pad layer contents to the database against the specific map view.

NOTE: Don't forget to save, if you want to permanently clear a scribble pad layer from a map.
