Our First Procreate Meetup 02/15/22:

6 people RSVPed on Meetup, 3 attended (2 canceled, 1 no-show)

Other Tips:

Quickly drag out from the Modify Button to slide the sidebar up or down.

Use Actions>Prefs to make the interface appear on the right-hand side.

"Procreate app -- Create and publish digital artwork"
