Boards
Boards are collaborative documents that multiple users can edit together in real time. They use the same block-based editor as course activities but are designed for freeform collaboration outside the course structure.
Boards must be enabled in your Organization Settings to be available.
How Boards Work
A board is a shared document with real-time synchronization powered by Yjs. Multiple users can view and edit a board simultaneously, with changes synced instantly across all participants.
Key Features
- Real-time collaboration — Multiple users can edit a board at the same time with live cursor tracking and instant sync.
- Role-based access — Board members can be assigned roles: Owner, Editor, or Viewer.
- Block-based editing — Boards use the same rich block editor as course activities, supporting text, media, and advanced blocks.
- Member management — Board owners can invite members and manage their access levels.
Use Cases
- Group projects — Students collaborate on shared documents for team assignments.
- Meeting notes — Teachers and staff maintain shared notes for planning and coordination.
- Brainstorming — Teams use boards as collaborative whiteboards for idea generation.
