I have a few drawings in my Drawings tab. I want to delete some of them but cannot find a way to do this. I cannot right click on the drawing files and delete them.

Hi,

Which OS version are you using?  
You can also use swipe gesture to access the menu to rename, duplicate or delete them.

That explains it, thanks!  
It’s a bug in macOS 12, but we will try to work around it in the next release.

Hi,  
this is fixed for me in the latest History based Beta version (5.450.0), with MacOS 12.5, so probabilities are high that the fix will work for you in the next public release 😀  
Thanks to the team 🥰
