Whiteboards

Whiteboards are a freeform infinite canvas that lives alongside the text journal. They’re first-class pages — each board has a title, its own sidebar section, and shows up in search.

A Zorite whiteboard — freehand pen, shapes, on-canvas text, and a page-card embed on an infinite canvas
  • Pen — freehand drawing.
  • Shapes — rectangle, ellipse, line, arrow, diamond, triangle, rounded-rectangle, star, and hexagon.
  • Text — type directly on the canvas.
  • Images — drop or paste an image file onto the board.
  • Page cards — embed a card that links back to a note, so a board can be a visual index of your written pages.

Select one element or rubber-band a group, then move, resize, or rotate it. Per element you can set the colour, fill, a gradient, and opacity, and adjust z-order (bring forward / send back) so overlapping shapes stack the way you want.

Snap-to-grid keeps things aligned as you place and resize. Copy and paste works within a board and across boards, so you can lift a diagram from one canvas onto another.

Save a board’s contents as a reusable template and start new boards from it — handy for a recurring layout like a weekly planner, a retro grid, or a system diagram skeleton.

Boards are first-class pages: each one has its own entry in the sidebar’s whiteboards section, and you can search for a board by its title (or filter search with the wb: chip — see Search). Open a board in its own tab, drag it to another window, or tear it off into a new one, just like any other page.

Importing a Logseq graph brings its tldraw whiteboards across as native Zorite boards — images and all. See Import from Logseq.
