Add from the Header
Section titled “Add from the Header”- Open a board.
- In the board header, choose an item type: Add Text, Add Link, or Add Media. On compact layouts, open Add Content first, then choose the item type.

Note: On iPhone and iPad, long-press an empty area of the canvas to open the contextual radial menu. On Mac, right-click the canvas to open the same add actions.
Other Ways to Add Content
Section titled “Other Ways to Add Content”- Drag and drop: Drop images or files from other apps directly onto the board.
