Drawing on a board

Every tool on a board, from sticky notes and shapes to arrows, frames, images and stickers, and how to style and arrange what you draw.

Select and move around

Select (V) is the arrow. Click something to select it, drag a box around several things, or Shift + click to add one more.
Move the board (H) is the hand. Drag to move around. You can also hold Space and drag, or scroll.
Zoom with Ctrl and the mouse wheel, a pinch on a trackpad or touch screen, or the zoom buttons at the bottom left.
Zoom to fit (Shift + 1, or the arrows at the bottom of the left toolbar) brings everything on the board into view.

Click Sticky note in the left toolbar.
Pick a colour: yellow, pink, green, blue, purple or orange.
The note lands in the middle of your view, selected. Double click it to type on it.
Drag a corner to resize it, or drag the note to move it. Change its colour later with Background in its options.

Click Text (T), then click the board and type. Click away or press Esc to finish.
Double click any shape, note or arrow to write in it. The text stays inside and moves with it.
Enter starts a new line. Select the text to change its font, size, colour and alignment.

Click Shapes and lines, pick Rectangle, Diamond or Ellipse, then drag on the board. Keys: R, D and O.
Hold Shift while dragging for a perfect square or circle.
Double click a shape to write in it. Diamonds are good for decisions such as Replied?

Pick Arrow (A) and drag from one shape to another. The arrow attaches to both, and stays attached when you move either shape.
Hold Ctrl while drawing for an arrow that does not attach.
Select an arrow to choose its type (sharp, curved or elbow), its arrowheads and its line style. Double click it to add a label, such as Yes or No.
Select a shape and press Ctrl + arrow key to add the next step already connected. Alt + arrow key moves between connected shapes.
Ctrl + Enter on a selected arrow or line lets you move its points.

Line (L) draws a straight line. Click to add bends, and click the first point again to close it into a shape.
Pen (P) draws freehand, like a marker. Choose its colour and thickness in its options.

Pick Frame (F) and drag around part of the board to make a titled section, such as Week 1 or Persona A.
Anything you drop inside a frame belongs to it. Moving the frame moves everything in it.
Double click the frame title to rename it. Frames are also handy for exporting one part of a board.

Paste an image (Ctrl + V), drop an image file on the board, or pick Image (9) under More tools.
PNG, JPG, GIF, WebP and SVG images work, each up to 4 MB, and up to 200 on a board.
Drag a corner to resize an image. Double click it to crop, then press Enter or Esc to finish.

Eraser (E) removes whatever you drag it over. Undo brings it back.
Laser pointer (K) draws a trail that fades away. Use it to point at things while you share your screen.
Stickers and emoji (under More tools) add a large emoji, such as a thumbs up, a tick, a rocket or a target, to mark or vote on ideas.
Table (under More tools) adds a grid of 3 columns and 4 rows. Double click a cell to type in it.

Select something and its options appear on the left of the board.
Stroke sets the colour of lines and text. Background sets the fill colour of a shape or note.
Fill chooses solid, hatched or cross-hatched. Stroke width and stroke style choose thin or bold, solid, dashed or dotted lines.
Sloppiness makes lines neat or hand-drawn, and Edges makes corners sharp or round.
For text: the font (hand-drawn, clean or code), the size, and left, centre or right alignment.
Opacity makes something see-through.
Copy a style with Ctrl + Alt + C and paste it onto other things with Ctrl + Alt + V.

Layers: bring something forward or to the front, or send it backward or to the back, in its options or with Ctrl + ] and Ctrl + [.
Alignment: select two or more things and use Align in the options to line up their edges or centres, or to space them evenly.
Groups: select things and press Ctrl + G to move them as one. Ctrl + Shift + G ungroups. Ctrl + click selects one thing inside a group.
Locking: press Ctrl + Shift + L, or use Lock in the options, so something cannot be moved or changed by mistake. Do the same to unlock it.
Flip: Shift + H flips across, Shift + V flips up and down.

Ctrl + C and Ctrl + V copy and paste, also between boards in the same browser.
Ctrl + D duplicates the selection, or hold Alt and drag a copy away.
Ctrl + K adds a link to a shape or note, for example to a campaign or a table in the app. Click the link icon on it to open it.
Delete or Backspace removes the selection. Ctrl + Z undoes it.
