5-Minute Setup Guide

Get up and running with WhizBoard in under five minutes. Follow these steps to create your first collaborative board and start working with your team.

Step 1

Create Your First Board

Start with a blank canvas or choose from our templates

Click the 'Create Board' button in the top navigation. Give it a meaningful name and select a template that fits your needs, or start with a blank canvas for maximum flexibility.

Step 2

Invite Your Team

Add collaborators and assign appropriate roles

Use the 'Invite' button in the board header to add team members. Choose between Viewer, Editor, or Owner roles based on their needs. You can also generate a shareable link for quick access.

Step 3

Start Creating

Use basic tools to outline your ideas

Begin with the Pen tool for freehand drawing, add shapes for structure, and use text blocks for labels. Don't worry about perfection - focus on getting your ideas down quickly.

Step 4

Organize with Frames

Group related content for better organization

Select multiple elements and press 'F' or use the Frame tool to group them. Frames help organize your work and can be exported individually. They also make it easier to manage complex boards.

Step 5

Share and Collaborate

Start real-time collaboration with your team

Your team can now join and collaborate in real-time. Use the presence indicators to see who's online, and take advantage of live cursors to understand what others are working on.
