A town hall's pinboard next to the map, with notes, a checklist and a picture.

Open the pinboard

Select the object and press Pinboard (the pin) in the inspector. The number next to it says how many cards are on it.

Add cards

The buttons at the top:

  • Note: a sticky note. Pick its colour with the dots on the card.
  • Checklist: type an item and press Enter. Tick items as you go: a bar shows how far you are.
  • Image: pictures from your computer.
  • Link: a website, a Pinterest pin, a YouTube video…

Paste and drop

Faster: copy a screenshot or a link and press Ctrl+V on the board. Or drop image files onto it.

Arrange them

Drag a card by its top bar, resize it at its bottom corner. Drag the empty board to move around, scroll to zoom. The % button fits all cards in view.

Good to know

  • Double-click a picture to see it big. Images also get a caption.
  • X on a card removes it. Ctrl+Z brings it back.
  • Links show a preview when the site allows it. Instagram doesn't: paste a screenshot of the post instead.
  • Esc or X at the top closes the board.

Pictures and plan files

Pictures are kept in this browser. When you save a plan file, leave Include pinboard images ticked so the boards work on another computer too. The file gets bigger.

In a shared world, a picture shows for others once the person who added it is online.
