Whiteboard / Drawing & objects
Drawing tools and page objects
Draw, type, shape, and place images on any page — then move, scale, rotate, crop, and right-click for the controls teaching actually needs.
Mark the page. Keep the lesson moving.
What drawing and page objects are
The Whiteboard’s drawing tools are how you mark, explain, and build on a page in real time. Pens, brushes, shapes, text, and tables sit beside images and richer inserts — all selectable, movable, and adjustable once they are on the canvas.
That matters in teaching because the board has to keep up with the explanation. Circle a mistake, drop a photo, crop a capture, rotate a diagram — without leaving the lesson to open another app.
Why teachers use these tools
Live explanation
Pen, brush, highlighter, and laser for talk-throughs that move with the class.
Structured objects
Text, shapes, and tables when the board needs more than freehand ink.
Images on any page
Upload a file or take a photo — collaborators with draw rights can add images too.
Precise adjustment
Move, scale, rotate, crop, and right-click actions keep objects teachable, not stuck.
Anyone who can draw on the board (including collaborators in two-way sessions, or private-notes mode) can place images on the page they are working on.
Inside the drawing toolkit
- Navigation — pan and select
- Ink — pen, brush, highlighter (including document-view highlighting), laser, eraser
- Structure — text, shapes, tables
- Style — colours and thickness, with undo/redo
- Images — upload image and take photo onto the current page
- Transformer — move, scale, and rotate selected objects
- Crop mode — edge handles, then bake the crop when you exit
How an object lands on the page
Choose a tool or insert an image
Draw, type, or upload/take a photo onto the active page.
Select and transform
Move, scale, rotate, or enter crop mode until the object fits the teaching point.
Use right-click for finer control
Flip, restyle, reorder, lock, save, or reopen Workshop inserts as needed.
Right-click and object actions
With an object selected, context actions typically include:
| Action | What it does |
|---|---|
| Flip horizontal / vertical | Mirror the object for layout or symmetry talk |
| Rotation steps | Nudge or set rotation beyond free transform |
| Opacity / colour | Adjust appearance where the object type supports it |
| Z-order | Bring forward or send backward in the stack |
| Save PNG | Export that object as an image file |
| Edit description | Add or change an image description for accessibility |
| Lock from eraser | Protect the object while cleaning other ink |
| Open in Station / re-render / fit | For Library and Workshop inserts — edit source, refresh, or fit to page |
Images, photos and captures
Upload and camera capture place images directly on the page you choose. Screen captures from Link Screen or recording crops land the same way — as page objects you can transform and annotate.
Multi-monitor capture uses Link Screen. Add image descriptions from the Accessibility menu when alt text helps.
