Select and move objects and edit text

Learn about the different options for selecting and moving objects on the whiteboard.

In Collaboard there are 3 modes to select objects on the whiteboard. 

Single

This is the standard selection mode. It allows you to select one object. 

Multiple

The multiple select mode allows you to select multiple objects by clicking on one after the other. The mode can be activated permanently in the user interface or just by clicking and holding Ctrl. When Ctrl is clicked multiple objects can be selected.  

Area

The area selection mode allows you to select multiple objects in an area. You can activate it permanently in the user interface by pressing the "R" key or hold down the Shift key and select the area with the left mouse button..

Tip: By pressing the ESC key you can cancel the range or multiple selection and switch back to single selection.
