Whiteboard
A whiteboard inside your notes for quick sketches
Some ideas are easier to draw. A whiteboard block gives you a canvas in the middle of a note, so the sketch sits with the text it belongs to.
Every plan, including Free.
Draw in the page
Type /whiteboard to add a canvas to the note. Drag its resize handle, or use the arrow keys on it, to make the canvas taller or shorter.
Pen, highlighter and eraser
- The pen draws in black, blue, red, green, orange or purple, in three sizes: fine, medium and thick.
- The highlighter marks in yellow, green, blue or red.
- The eraser removes whole strokes. Undo takes back the last change, and Clear empties the board.
The same drawing on every screen
The canvas scales with the page, so a sketch looks the same on a phone as on a wide monitor.
Part of the note
A whiteboard is a block like any other: it’s saved on your device first, syncs with the rest of the note, and is kept in version history. For boxes and arrows you want to rearrange, use a flowchart.
