Add Shapes to your Whiteboards

We are excited to announce that we have released the ability to add shapes to your Whiteboards. Traditionally, many businesses use Whiteboards to collaborate and communicate ideas around the OKR process - from drafting and aligning OKRs to retrospectives. With the addition of Shapes in Whiteboards, we are extending the usage of the core Whiteboards tool.

Shapes in Whiteboards

Previously, Whiteboards were mainly used for OKR meetings, but with this update, we're moving towards a more powerful collaborative whiteboarding tool to host meetings, build flow-charts and more.

When creating Whiteboards, users will now have the ability to have the ability to add different types of shapes on the Whiteboards to help illustrate their work. Once in the Whiteboard, you can add text to the shape and change the colours to help group ideas.

You can also link shapes within the Whiteboard using the arrows or connectors. Simply click on one of the shapes you would like to link, then select the arrow and drag it to connect to the second shape. You can also edit the direction of the arrow and its colour.
