What is the reason of having a Blue Color Tiny Circle above the Pencil Tool?

Correct answer Ton Frederiks

It is there to attract attention for new feautures. It disappears when you start using the pencil tool.

Hi @MahaB82A,

I don’t see the blue dot on my screen (I’m on the latest version of Illustrator), but it appears to be an indicator that it’s going to close a path. You can double-click on the pencil tool to open the options and try changing settings.
