Clearing pages

You can erase digital ink and delete individual objects from a page. You can also clear all objects or all digital ink objects from a page simultaneously.

Note 

You’re unable to clear objects locked in place (see Locking objects) or infinitely cloned objects (see Cloning objects). To clear all objects from a page, you must unlock all locked objects and clear the selection of Infinite Cloner on any infinitely cloned objects.
