Freeform automatically creates a new board „Final Cut“ on any start

On my iPad Pro 12,9 (6th Gen) Freeform creates a new board „Final Cut“, „Final Cut 1, „Final Cut 2“, „Final Cut ... x“ any (!) time I start freeform or come back to freeform when I switched between apps. A restart did not help or solve the issue. Does anyone have an idea or solution? It is absolutely annoying to delete up to 50 automatically created boards any given day.

That is really weird.

I have used Freeform occasionally as it quick to make some ad hoc diagrams, but I am not an expert on it.


You may try this, and see if it helps:


1) Quit Freeform

2) In Finder, press Command-Shift-G and paste


~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.freeform.plist


3) Drag the file above to your Desktop


4) Start Freeform again. A new plist file should be created in the place of the one you moved.


Does Freeform now act normally?
