Get started with Freeform on Mac
You can use the Freeform app (included on your Mac) to brainstorm by yourself or with others—plan a trip itinerary, build a storyboard, create a seating chart, and so much more. Here’s how to get started.
Create a board
A Freeform board is an online whiteboard where you can work on individual projects, hold group brainstorming sessions, or a combination of the two. To get started, open the Freeform app and click 
in the toolbar.
Add text, media, and more
Add almost anything to a board—for example, click 
to add text, 
to add a link or photo, or 
to add a sticky note. Keep clicking and adding to build your board. Format and move items around until your board matches your ideas—the bigger, the better.
Tell a story with your board
Save scenes to organize your boards, then quickly navigate and present those different parts of your board to others. Anyone viewing your board can use scenes to move around the board. Click 
, click 
, then click Add Scene.
