Item Types Overview
Each board can hold six item types: image, text, link card, group, drawing, and media. They share the same basic controls for position, scale, rotation, z-order, and lock state.
| Type | What It Is | Key Actions |
|---|---|---|
| Image | Still images (JPG, PNG, HEIC, etc.) | Crop, flip, annotate, ToolBox analysis |
| Text | Rich formatted text | Font, color, background, shadow, outline, lists |
| Link Card | Web link with metadata preview | Edit metadata, card styles, open/copy link |
| Group | Container for other items | Drill-in editing, dissolve, color/gradient fill |
| Drawing | Freehand strokes and shapes | Edit mode, linked annotations |
| Media | GIFs and videos | Playback controls, filmstrip, onion skin, frame export |
