  • Once that is complete, click Apply to activate the setting and return to the main editor screen within Doodly.

 


Using the Smart Mode (to erase images)

The Doodly Smart mode feature allows Doodly to automatically add the erase animation which erases images that overlap with each other.

 

Please note that this feature is only available to certain illustrators/hand-styles.

  • To activate the auto-erase action within a Doodly project please click on the Settings button:
