When I zoom in, how do I move the page up and down? There are no scroll bars. I can only see the center of the canvas.

Community Answer

To move the canvas, move your mouse while right-clicking. On a touch screen, put two fingers on your screen and move them to move the canvas.

Question

What does the fan icon do?

Community Answer

The fan icon dries the image if you are using paints. This makes it immune to the eraser or smear.

Question

What is the fan in Fresh Paint in Windows 10?

Community Answer

It dries the painting. If you paint on top of something that has been dried, it won't smudge/mix. If you paint on something that has not been dried, it'll smudge/mix.
