Board View is the main workspace. It shows all frames in the current scene in shot order. Use the vertical scroll bar on the right to navigate through your board.
Frames per row
You can adjust how many frames are shown per row:
Open Sidebar β Settings and choose between available layouts. 3, 4, or 5 frames per row are available depending on your iPad model.
Frame menu
Open the menu on a frame (top-right corner) to access:
Add shot before / after β Insert a new frame before or after
Continue β Link this frame with the next, and so on. See Linked shots for more
Duplicate β Create a copy of the shot
Flip β Flip the drawing horizontally
Park β Temporarily remove the shot to the Park Bin for later use
Clear β Remove all strokes from the frame
Delete β Remove the shot from the board
Reorder shots
You can reorder shots at any time while storyboarding.
Drag a frame using the horizontal handle at the top of the frame (where the shot number is).
With Apple Pencil, drag starts instantly. With your finger, touch and hold the handle for a moment, then drag.
A blue cursor shows where the shot will be inserted.
Drag the shot as far as needed and the view will auto-scroll.
Shot numbers update automatically upon drop.
Tip: To move a shot over long distances, use the Park Bin. Park the shot (or shot group), navigate to the target area, then drag it back from the Park Bin into its new position.
