You can add a variety of shapes and reactions to enhance your whiteboard.

Insert shapes

To add a shape:

  • Select the Create button in the left toolbar, then select Shapes.

  • Choose from one of eight common shapes or four lines.

  • Tap or click where you want to add the shape on the canvas.

You can add shapes to your whiteboard from the Create Panel.

Insert reactions

To add a reaction:

  • Select the Create button in the left toolbar, then select Shapes.

  • Choose from one of eight reactions, such as thumbs up, heart, check box, or smiley face.

  • Tap or click where you want to add the reaction on the canvas.

You can add reactions from the Create Panel.

Select, move, and resize shapes and reactions

  • To move objects, when finger painting mode is disabled, you can select with your finger to easily move objects around the canvas.

  • To select content, you can use your finger or pen — or use the Lasso Select tool in the ink toolbar to select several objects at once.

  • With Lasso Select is activated, use your pen to circle the content you want to select. When finger painting mode is enabled for passive/non-pen-based devices, you can also turn on Lasso Select to use your finger to circle-select content.

  • If your active pen has a barrel button, hold this button to temporarily switch into Lasso Select mode and circle content to select it.

  • When content has been selected, move it using your finger or pen. To resize it, use two fingers to stretch or minimize the content.

Use object snapping

Object snapping helps you align your content by providing a visual cue. A line appears when you move an object (such as a sticky note or an image) close to another object.
