Understanding The Scratchpad; The Ti-Nspire™ Handheld Screen - Texas Instruments TI-Nspire Getting Started

Understanding the Scratchpad

Use the Scratchpad to make quick calculations and graphs without
affecting the current TI-Nspire™ document. For example, when you need
a quick way to test a calculation before you add it to a document, you
can open the Scratchpad application and perform the calculation. Then,
you can either discard the calculation or add it to a document. For more
information about the Scratchpad, please see Using the Scratchpad.
