You can create hand-drawn images and share them directly in tutor and agent chat conversations. This is useful for sketching diagrams, working through math problems, illustrating scientific concepts, or showing your work visually.

2. A menu appears with two options:

3. Click Draw on Computer to open the canvas
Drawing tools
The drawing canvas has a toolbar at the top with the following tools:
Pen - Draw freehand lines (selected by default)
Eraser - Remove parts of your drawing by clicking on strokes
Pan (hand icon) - Move around the canvas without drawing
Undo / Redo - Step backwards or forwards through your drawing actions
Clear (trash icon) - Remove everything from the canvas and start fresh
Sending your drawing
When you are finished, click Add Drawing. The drawing is converted to an image and attached to your message. You can add text to accompany the drawing before sending it.
The tutor or agent can see and analyse your drawing, so you can ask questions about what you have drawn or request feedback on your work.
