A picture is worth a thousand words 🎨
Get creative with our latest updates to the Marker Pen and Reaction emojis. Plus, for Enterprise plans, we've added a new approval workflow for member invites.
Marker Pen
For the artists in your team or those who really miss drawing big red arrows on a real whiteboard.
- Draw anywhere on the board
- Draw directly on Sticky-notes, Task cards and Index cards to attach your drawing to those objects.
- Draw inside Zones or Frames and the drawing will move with the Zone/Frame when you move it - drawings inside of Zones/Frames can still be selected and moved independently
- Drawing over the edges or outside of board objects will create a drawn object which you can freely move around the board.
Edit your marker pen drawings, with the pointer tool (V) selected:
- Click on a marker drawing to move, rotate, adjust line thickness or recolour
- Double-click a marker drawing to edit, you can now continue to draw, or use the marker eraser to remove drawings: - Note - The eraser removes an entire line, not just the area you click on.
Emoji Reactions
When you need more than words to express yourself, or if you just like to add a bit more fun to your boards.
You can now add emoji’s directly to your board using the Reaction tool:
- When you place a reaction emoji on the board background (outside of an object) it becomes an editable object which you can move, resize and rotate
- The Reactions tool will now track your ‘Recently used', making it easier to reapply your most used reactions.
- Eraser function added to Reactions. Click to remove emojis from the board or objects.
Invite Approvals
(Enterprise plans only)
Organization Owners and Admins can now choose to enable an invite approval process, from the People Management screen:
- This feature implements an admin approval process on all invites sent by members.
- When a member tries to send an invite, Admins will receive an email notifying them that a new invite has been requested:
- The Admins / Owners can approve or reject invite requests from the People Management screen.
- When an invite is approved, an invite email will be sent to the new member, inviting them to the Organization Account.
- Logged-in members will be taken directly to the new account & team.
- If the invitee does not yet have an account they will need to create one before joining the team.
Notes
- When Invite Approvals are enabled, members can invite others by email only. Inviting with a link is disabled.
- Note - no approval step is required when an Owner or Admin invites a new member.
