Describe the mark
Name the task before naming an input technology. A short citation may need a highlight and source locator. A drawing may need an editable layer. A document review may need a flattened copy that another person can open. These outcomes lead to different evaluation questions.
Make the round trip
Create a mark, export it locally, reopen the export in the intended software and find the original passage. Change the source file if that is part of the workflow. Observe whether the link stays meaningful, and whether handwriting remains editable or becomes an image.
Keep the exit route visible
Ask what can be exported without a service account, and what depends on a particular app. Record format, metadata and ownership questions explicitly. No handwriting recognition accuracy, stylus latency or interoperability guarantee is supplied by this fictional studio.

Account-free recovery question
Which marks must remain editable outside the reading device?
Record it as unresolved. A future sample or document should provide the answer before a purchasing decision.
