Adding widgets
The add panel
Section titled “The add panel”Click the round + button in the bottom corner of your board. Hovering an entry describes it; clicking it adds it.
A new widget lands near the middle of your board, and the board switches to edit mode with it selected so you can set it up straight away.
Quick ways in
Section titled “Quick ways in”Some things are faster from the right-click menu:
| Ctrl/Cmd+N | A new note, placed where your pointer is |
| Ctrl/Cmd+H | A new voice recording |
Right-clicking also offers New File and New Folder.
Pasting something in
Section titled “Pasting something in”Some things become a widget just by pasting them onto the board:
| On your clipboard | What you get |
|---|---|
| A web address | A Link widget, with the page’s title and preview fetched |
| An image, including a screenshot | An Image widget |
| A widget copied from any board | The same widget, settings and all |
Right-click where you want it and choose Paste, or press Ctrl/Cmd+V.
