Add notes and text

  1. Choose Add > Note for a note, or Add > Text for a text object.
  2. Place the object beside the reference it describes and enter your text.
  3. To revise an existing note or text object, right-click it and choose Edit text.

Draw on the board

  1. Choose Pen from the tool rail.
  2. Choose Pen or Highlighter in the tool’s Mode options, then set the colour and size.
  3. Drag on the canvas to draw. Hold Shift for a straight pen stroke.
  4. Choose Select from the tool rail when you want to move or arrange board objects again.

Connect ideas

Use Add > Shape or Add > Icon to mark ideas, then Add > Arrow to connect object snap points or draw an arrow in empty space. Keep labels close to the objects they explain.

  • Board drawing and annotations are saved with the board.
  • Drawing on the board is separate from editing an image’s pixels and layers. Use Edit image layers for that workflow.
