Apple Pencil not working in pages

Has any one had problems getting their Apple Pencil (1) to work with Pages ? I have a iPad Pro and the latest los and it just does not give me a 'Scribble' toolbar in Pages. Thanks l

iPad Pro (1st generation)

Perhaps this Apple support page will be helpful:

Draw, annotate, and use Scribble in Pages, Numbers, and Keynote - Apple Support


If your iPad is not operating as expected, try a forced-restart - as this will often clear an isolated software issue:


Force restart iPad (models with Face ID or with Touch ID in the top button)

If your iPad doesn’t have the Home button, do the following:

  1. Press and quickly release the volume button nearest to the top button.
  2. Press and quickly release the volume button farthest from the top button.
  3. Press and hold the top button.
  4. When the Apple logo appears, release the top button.




Force restart iPad (models with the Home button)

Press and hold the top button and the Home button at the same time. When the Apple logo appears, release both buttons.




Otherwise, If you continue to experience difficulties, you might be best advised to seek assistance directly from from Apple Support. You can contact the Support Team using the Support link at top-right or bottom-left of this page.

Alternatively and perhaps easier, you can initiate and manage your support cases using the excellent Apple Support App. If not already installed on your iPad, the App can be downloaded from the App Store:
