Create a whiteboard

Create a whiteboard and add text and shapes to a shared canvas.

Whiteboards, presentations and reels

A whiteboard gives you a canvas for text, shapes, and drawings. Use it to arrange ideas or sketch a process.

Before you start

You need the workspace member, admin, or owner role to create this item. To create it inside a folder, open the folder and use its New resource button; you need Can edit or Full access on that folder. To edit an existing item, you need Can edit or Full access on it.

Create the whiteboard

  1. In the sidebar, select New resource, the plus beside Workspace.
  2. Choose Work, then Whiteboards. Zanbase creates an untitled whiteboard and opens it.
  3. Select the title and type the whiteboard’s name.

Add text

  1. Select Text in the canvas toolbar.
  2. Click the canvas to place the Text element.
  3. Type your text in the active Text editor.

Add and move a shape

  1. Select Rectangle.
  2. Drag on the canvas to draw the Rectangle.
  3. Select Select in the toolbar.
  4. Drag the rectangle with Select to move it.

Good to know

The toolbar also includes Draw for freehand drawing. Editing is disabled when your canvas connection has read-only access.
