Whiteboards Beta Feedback
complete
Brendan W
Hello everyone!!! 👋
We are so excited to get your feedback on Whiteboards and work together to ensure this is the BEST feature possible for you!
This post will serve as a catch-all during the Beta so that we can:
- Fix bugs
- Add important features or improvements
- Understand your use cases
From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for trying out Whiteboards. We've had a blast building this feature and we will be launching consistent releases for years and years to come. We understand not everything is perfect in its current state, but we strongly felt that releasing this feature as beta, bringing our users into the process early, and making sure we're building the right product was the right call.
Have fun bridging the gap between creativity and productivity! 💜

Second the comment about broken lines/dotted lines - would be super useful.
It would be convenient if we could manually move the arrow path to come off of a specific side of the text box. I realize it tries to do this intuitively but in reality it's not going where I'd like it to much of the time.
Also, for the arrows to not be able to crossover another text box. They should have to go around the text box by default.
Thanks crew!!

- More arrow features i.e. broken lines, dotted lines
- More color options for shapes, text, and arrows
- Option for shapes to have an outline/border color, that way if you choose color white as your fill color, there will be an outline around the shape
- Have the arrow dodge any element in the way. Currently, the arrow will overlap existing elements when you connect it to another element, instead of going around those elements in the way.
Please and thank you!

Show 'Card' cover (image) when embedding tasks and the ability to Embed URLs with previews. This would help SO MUCH with my agency's content creation process!

Be able to bring objects to the front and send to the back

I'm pretty sure all of your most recent suggestions here have already been broken out as separate Canny feature requests Thomas Hind-Valentine! Check these out! (actual links in original post below)
One-way connectors - Add the ability to show just one arrow or no arrows between objects
Object Text Formatting - Give users a format menu when clicking on objects so they can format their text (bold, italics, bullets, numbered, etc.)
Whiteboards Stylus support (ex: Apple pencil) - Allow for styluses to be used on the canvas.
Fix Zooming on Whiteboards - Improve the way zooming works (especially on scrollwheels)
Convert Objects into ClickUp Tasks - Allow users to convert Text boxes, Shapes and notes into tasks by using an on-click menu. The text would become the task title.
Whiteboards Home - Allow users to search their "database" of Whiteboards so they don't lose track of where they are
Allow Text Boxes to be resized
Allow Notes to be resized
Connectors - Snap Points - Make connectors smarter and snap to another object when I'm close enough
Figure out Solution to integrate Mind Maps into Whiteboards - Up for discussion here. We need to figure out the best way to integrate this into Whiteboards.
Comments - Ability to add comments onto objects and have them function much like Docs.
Lock objects - Give users the ability to prevent changes from happening on an object until it's unlocked
Ability to paste images, text, URLs from your clipboard - Command + V should put whatever is in your clipboard onto the canvas
Re-center button - This button would refocus the user back to the middle of the screen at normal view level
Add text onto the connector lines - This is important for making user flows and other diagrams
Frames
Color Wheel picker - Let users select any color they want
Smart Alignment Grid - Show top/bottom/left/right/center alignment indicators when moving objects around on screen

Ability to change the text size, boldness and maybe style...i would just use the "/" commands to do this.
Thomas Hind-Valentine
Ability to change the number of arrows on a line to a line with no arrow, one arrow or two arrows
Thomas Hind-Valentine
Ability to change the alignment of text in shapes and text boxes

Add slash commands to text boxes so you can add bullets and other features.

Text boxes aren't resizable, they should be

Having the shapes drawn be able to send to back would be a great feature. Also drawing shapes with just outlines would be great.
