Whiteboard

Whiteboard mode gives you a fast freeform canvas for brainstorming, sketching, and visual ideation—with built-in paths to convert work back into structured flowcharts.

When to Use Whiteboard Mode

  • Capture rough ideas before formalizing a process
  • Run collaborative planning sessions with quick sketches
  • Combine freehand drawing, shapes, arrows, text, and reusable assets
  • Build wireframes, architecture diagrams, or mind maps with AI assistance
  • Present whiteboard content in a clean, fullscreen view for stakeholders

Switching Between Flowchart and Whiteboard

Use the canvas mode switcher in the editor header to toggle between Flowchart and Whiteboard. Your content in each mode is preserved independently.

Shortcut: Shift + W to toggle modes.

Native Drawing Tools

Whiteboard mode includes 8 native drawing tools — select, freehand pen, rectangle, ellipse, arrow, line, text, and eraser — each with a single-key shortcut for fast switching.
