I bet you think you know everything about your iPad
I thought I knew everything there was to know about iPhones & iPads, but wow, was I wrong.
I shared the iOS9 version of this FREE iBook about a year ago, but it has been updated for iOS 10 and I want to encourage you to download and read. It will take you approximately 30 minutes, and I guarantee you will learn some things. In fact, I think you will be surprised at just how many things you didn't know!!
Download the iBook here Getting Started with iPad iOS 10
Draft - A Distraction-free Collaborative Writing Tool
When you write in Draft you won't see anything but the text in front of you. Draft is stripped of options for messing about with font colors or inserting pictures.
Anyone who has an email address can participate in editing a document in Draft. Draft is a nice option for people who don't have access to Google Docs and or those who just want to focus on the text and not worry about playing around with font styling.
