Abstract
Systems and methods for aggregating digital ink instances within an electronic document. One system includes a memory configured to store instructions and an electronic processor coupled to the memory. The electronic processor, through execution of the instructions in the memory, is configured to receive detected interactions between a touchscreen and a digital pen representing one or more digital strokes within a canvas and determine whether the one or more digital strokes match a predetermined signifier. The electronic processor is also configured to, in response to determining that the one or more digital strokes match the predetermined signifier, determine a first digital ink instance included in the electronic document based on a position of the one or more digital strokes within the canvas, duplicate the first digital ink instance to create a second digital ink instance, and add the second digital ink instance to a designated portion of the electronic document.
