Platform
An infinite canvas, right beside your docs.
Whiteboards are infinite canvases for sketching architecture, mapping a process, or running a workshop. Draw by hand, drop in real diagrams and images, pull from a stencil library, or just describe what you want and let the agent build it. Available on every plan.
On every plan, no separate limit
What you can put on a board
A whiteboard starts as a blank, infinite canvas. Pan and zoom as far as you like, then fill it with any mix of the building blocks below.
Shapes and text
Rectangles, ellipses, diamonds, arrows, lines, freehand ink, and standalone text. Every shape can carry a label that wraps to fit.
Sticky notes
Colour-coded notes with auto-sizing text, perfect for retros, brainstorms, and affinity mapping.
Connectors
Arrows that bind to shapes and follow them when you move things around, so your flow stays intact.
Stencils and icons
A searchable library of reusable stencils plus cloud architecture icons for AWS, GCP, and Azure.
Embedded diagrams
Drop a BPMN, Mermaid, or D2 diagram straight onto the canvas. It renders in place and stays editable.
Images
Paste or upload images, screenshots, and logos. Position them anywhere alongside your sketches.
Creating a whiteboard
Open the Whiteboards section in the project sidebar and use the add menu to create a new board, or open the Whiteboards page and click New whiteboard. Give it a name and it opens straight into the full-screen editor.
Boards live in the same project as your documents, so the people who can see the project can see its boards, governed by the same permissions.
The canvas and toolbar
The toolbar across the top holds the drawing tools. Pick a tool, draw on the canvas, then select anything to restyle it: colour, stroke, fill, font, and layering.
- Draw shapes, arrows, lines, freehand ink, and text.
- Sticky notes for quick, colourful capture.
- Frames to group a region of the canvas, handy for slides or sections you want to present or export on their own.
- Connect any two shapes with a binding arrow that tracks them as they move.
Connectors that snap and follow
Hover a shape and drag from its edge to spawn a connector to another shape. The arrow binds to both ends, so when you reposition a box its connectors move with it. No re-drawing, no detached arrows.
Zoom, fit, and navigate
The bottom-left controls let you zoom in and out, snap to Fit (everything in view), or jump to 100%. You can also scroll the mouse wheel over the zoom percentage to zoom in and out, or hold Ctrl and scroll over the canvas.
Build it with the agent
Open the AI agent panel inside the whiteboard and describe what you want in plain English. The agent picks shapes, lays them out, writes the labels, and wires up the connectors, then you refine by hand or with follow-up prompts.
Prompts to try
“Sketch a three-tier web architecture: client, API, and database, with a cache beside the API.”
“Lay out our onboarding flow as boxes and arrows, from sign-up through to first project created.”
“Add a sticky note next to each step with the team that owns it.”
“Turn this into swimlanes for Sales, Finance, and Legal.”
Stencils and the library
The library holds reusable stencils you can search by name or meaning and drop straight onto the canvas. It includes a large set of cloud architecture icons (AWS, GCP, Azure) so infrastructure sketches look the part without hunting for assets.
Drop in real diagrams
Beyond freehand shapes, you can place a fully rendered diagram on the canvas: a BPMN process, a Mermaid sequence, a D2 service map, and more. It renders in place and stays editable, so a board can mix a precise, source-backed diagram with the loose sketches around it. Hover a diagram and click the pencil to edit it.
Boards and diagrams, together
Organising your boards
- Categories group related boards. Create, rename, reorder, and delete them from the Manage categories dialog.
- Search and sort the gallery by name, category, or when a board was last updated.
- Bulk actions let you select several boards at once and duplicate, move them to a category, or delete them together.
Present and export
- Laser pointer to highlight as you talk through a board live.
- Export a board, or a single frame, to PNG or PowerPoint (PPTX) to share outside the app.
From your AI tools (MCP)
Whiteboards are fully scriptable over MCP, so an agent in your IDE or chat client can build and edit them for you. Tools cover creating a board, adding shapes and connectors, dropping in diagrams and images, searching stencils, and reading a board back as an image.
