Whiteboard Guide

The online whiteboard provides a freeform canvas for sketching ideas, creating diagrams, and visual brainstorming. It works directly in your browser with no account or installation needed. Use it for quick wireframes, flowcharts, mind maps, or explaining concepts visually during screen shares. The drawing tools support both freehand sketching and geometric shapes, making it versatile for both creative and structured visual work.

Common Use Cases

• —Sketch quick wireframes and UI mockups during brainstorming sessions
• —Draw flowcharts, diagrams, or process maps to explain workflows
• —Create visual explanations to share during video calls or screen recordings
• —Annotate screenshots or images for bug reports and design feedback
• —Brainstorm ideas visually with mind maps, sticky notes, and freeform sketches

Expert Tips

• ✻Use the shape tool for straight lines and geometric shapes when you need clean, structured diagrams
• ✻Hold Shift while drawing lines to snap them to horizontal, vertical, or 45-degree angles
• ✻Export your whiteboard as an image before clearing the canvas - there is no way to recover a cleared drawing
• ✻Use different colors to distinguish between ideas, categories, or priority levels in your sketches
