Frames

Learn about Frames in Collaboard and how to make use of them.

What are Frames?

Frames allow you to organize your board with many mini boards. This may look like this:

Frame 1: Introduction

Frame 2: Results

Frame 3: Conclusion

Each frame has content. Similar to a table cell. That content

• moves with the frame
• is hidden with the frame
• is duplicated with the frame
• is sent to back/ brought to front with the frame
• is exported and saved as a template with the frame

Thus, the frame behaves, to a certain extent, as a separate mini board embedded in your actual board.

Create a frame

Frames live in the main toolbox on the left hand side of the board:

You can choose from a variety of frame templates. Select your template, move the cursor over your board and add by a simple click or scale immediately to have your custom size right away.

Edit frames

Give your frame a title

Each frame comes with the default title Frame. Click the title or somewhere on the frame to activate the frame (the context menu shows and the border highlights). Start typing a title. It will replace the default title or any other title. You can remove the title any time.

Use the context menu

Each frame features the standard More context menu you are used to from other objects types, like notes or images

You may also use duplicate, delete, arrange, or change the background color on your frame. Additionally, you may change the frame ratio.

Use frames

Frames are predestined as organizers!
Regard them as containers to collect and carry your content and to effectively separate it from other content on your board.
