How to pin brushes to the Brush Palette
Only one brush set can appear in the brush palette at a time. You can change the brush set that appears in the brush palette by pinning a different brush set.
In Sketchbook Pro on desktop, the Pin feature is in the Brush Library marking menu.
On mobile, the pin icon appears in the upper right corner of a brush set in the Brush Library.
Using the Brush Palette sliders
The sliders on the right side of the brush panel are another way to adjust brush properties.
