The Markup step is used when you start stitching from your chart. Select a symbol, mark completed stitches, keep your place and watch your progress update as you work.
Use this page as your starting point. The overview below shows the main areas of the screen; each guide then explains one part without overloading you with everything at once. Remember, this step is only for marking up your chart. If you need to edit/change your project, use the previous steps.
Markup at a Glance
1. Toolbar
Save, open project settings, view project information, change the chart view and fit all chart pages on screen. Full guide. |
2. Chart and Marking area
Zoom in, then tap or drag across grid squares to mark your work. Use two fingers to move and zoom without changing any stitches. How marking works. |
3. Symbol Toolbar
Shows the symbol you are stitching, its colour and its remaining counts. Use the magnifier to select a symbol directly from the chart. Full guide. |
4. Symbol List
Choose a symbol, check its counts and jump to the next unmarked grid square. Change the panel width whenever you need more chart space or more symbol detail. Confirmed Symbols guide. |
5. Preview and Shortcuts
Return to the Chart Preview step, or open the arrow menu to revisit Review Grids, Set Symbols or Set Colors. Moving between steps. |
Start with the basics: select a symbol, mark a few grid squares and practise moving with two fingers. The other controls can wait until you need them.
