How did I miss this… Continuity Sketch?!?

I feel I might be late to the party on this, but funnily enough, apart from a support article from Apple themselves, I didn’t find too much about it.

During a Teams call today, I was trying to explain an idea I had with one of my colleagues for FY23 planning. As I was explaining it, I knew the visual aspect of the idea in my head, was not translating in the words I uttered, and I recalled the Freeform app as a way I could draw the idea. However, lets be honest, I am no artist, and with the mouse as a brush, I am even worse. So as I doodled, I accidentally right clicked and noticed the following option,

When I saw this, I reached over and grabbed my iPad and Apple Pencil and put idea to, well… virtual paper. I was impressed how easy it was, and fast to get the idea on the screen and talking about how we got moving.

Once you choose your selected device, the app you are working with on the Macbook, pops up an instruction to continue the sketch on your chosen device.
