NuromBoard User Guide

NuromBoard is a team whiteboard that helps you turn documents and meetings into shared structures. On your first visit, pick one concrete topic and complete the full path: input, generate, edit, share.

Once you are comfortable with how the canvas pans, zooms, and handles selection, almost everything in NuromBoard gets faster. The basics below are ordered by how often you will use them day to day.

Rectangles, diamonds, circles, text, and connectors are the foundation of expression on the canvas. Start with the shape that conveys the right meaning, then build visual hierarchy with color, borders, and fonts.

NuromBoard can convert Mermaid code into editable diagrams on the canvas. Flowcharts, ER diagrams, sequence diagrams, and class diagrams preserve their nodes, connectors, and endpoints wherever possible, and you can keep adjusting them after generation.

Mind maps are a good fit for expressing topics, levels, and knowledge relationships. NuromBoard lets you start from a blank structure, or continue from a first draft generated from your material or by AI.

A flowchart is mainly about sequence, decisions, roles, and exception paths. Work out the process logic first and adjust the layout second — the result will be far clearer than simply placing shapes.

Tables are good for comparison and structured information, while swimlanes express the handoffs in a process between different roles, departments, or systems. Both let you edit cell content and styles directly.

Comments are the right tool for discussing a specific spot on the canvas. Every comment has its own anchor and thread, which makes them ideal for design feedback, task confirmation, and plan reviews.

Before you share, decide what your visitors need to do. Read-only works well for showing and reviewing, while edit access suits people who will modify the canvas and take part in comments.

NuromBoard lets a team work around the same project and whiteboard. Agree on member roles and editing boundaries before you start, and use comment threads during the session to keep the discussion context.

Annotations, voice recordings, and attachments can hang off specific elements, so they do not crowd the main canvas while still preserving detailed explanations and source material. The panel on the right lets you browse and locate them all in one place.

Sketch recognition is made for quick expression during discussion and early drafting. Once you finish a stroke, NuromBoard recognizes common shapes from the path and stays in drawing mode so you can continue with the next shape.

The freehand pen suits sketches and annotations, the lasso is good for selecting irregular areas, the eraser clears elements away, and the laser pointer is for temporary pointing during presentations.

Projects are the container for long-term work in NuromBoard. Keep the whiteboards, notes, PDFs, assets, and exports on one topic inside a single project, and finding things and collaborating later both get easier.

NuromBoard keeps PDF reading and follow-up organizing in one workflow. Annotation is not the end point — the goal is to carry highlights, excerpts, and conclusions into a whiteboard or structured content.

Templates and the material library turn repeated canvas structures, business frameworks, and visual elements into reusable resources, so you spend less time rebuilding from a blank canvas.

Diagrams express structure, while notes, images, and attachments preserve context. Keeping them on the same canvas cuts down on constantly switching between tools.

NuromBoard brings common documents, media, spreadsheets, and mind map files onto the canvas. Different formats are converted into elements suited to reading, editing, or referencing.

The personal component library stores reusable canvas components you have designed yourself, while the material library manages resources such as images, files, audio, and video. They solve reuse at different levels.

Beyond shapes and text, the canvas can carry images, GIFs, video, audio, links, and embedded web pages. Multimedia used well adds evidence and context, but it should not pull focus from the main structure.

AI is good at giving you a fast first draft of a structure, but a result that is truly usable usually needs more work against your business context. NuromBoard's workflow is generate, preview, insert, edit.

Once a whiteboard is finished you usually still need it for reporting, review, archiving, or further editing. Tidy the canvas boundaries and reading order before exporting for a clearer result.

Frames turn an infinite canvas into ordered pages and are an important foundation for presentation mode. Each frame carries one topic or stage, which makes the reading path clearer.

When a whiteboard has been through team collaboration or major adjustments, version history helps you review what changed and lowers the risk of mistakes.

A timer gives divergence, discussion, and organizing clear boundaries, making it easier for a team to move from ideas to conclusions. It also works well for short individual focus sessions.

When a canvas fills up, search is more efficient than endlessly zooming and panning. Search results can locate text, frames, and cell content in tables and swimlanes.

NuromBoard supports light, dark, and follow-system themes. In user settings you can adjust personal preferences to keep reading and editing comfortable in different environments.

Beyond the light and dark themes, the canvas also offers theme color, display mode, and editing preferences. Adjust them for drawing, reading, or presenting to cut down on visual distractions.
