When added to the entity the Edit button is used to display and edit the drawing. The Delete button is used to delete the drawing and the Upload button is used to upload an image. Once uploaded, you can draw on top of the image. Once the drawing is complete the Drawing Pad’s Save button is used to save the drawing into the database.
