# Rotating a drawing tablet
For various reasons you may want to rotate your tablet to use it in a different orientation.
Most drawing tablets support these rotations:
* Some support all four orientations
* Some only support two orientations
* Some support only a single orientation
## **Summary of steps**
* Configure the driver app to perform the rotation
* If you have a pen display
* ensure you are extending the desktop to the pen display, not duplicating it
* In the system's display settings, rotate the desktop on the pen display
* Physically rotate the tablet
* You can perform these steps in any order.
## Notes for pen displays
If you have a monitor and a pen display, your desktop is either:
* **duplicated/mirrored** across both (both show the exact same thing)
* or **extended** across them (they show different things)
If you want to rotate your tablet, then you have to use the **extended** setting. You can certainly choose the duplicated or mirrored setting, but it will not give you the behavior that you want.
