PenInput1.Image contains a reference which can be used to extract the image and display it in an image control using

Set(varImage, JSON(PenInput1.Image,JSONFormat.IncludeBinaryData));

Set(varCleanBase64Image, Substitute(varImage, """", ""))

The Image property of the control is set to

varCleanBase64Image

The varCleanBase64Image is created because the JSON adds quotations to the start and end of the string

The JSON string can be compared to detect differences

How does this work?

Does PenInput1.Image actually store some value when you draw something or is this just a pointer which points to storage?

If you assign a variable doesn't it just copy the reference value not the contents?

Isn't this why people are unable to check changes using the PenInput control?

Hi!

Try actually drawing something in the PenInput control to populate the variable. When I was trying to reproduce the issue, I couldn't, hence I suspect you may have overlooked this step:
