GETTING STARTED WITH CONFLUENCE WHITEBOARDS


YOUR WHITEBOARD

The whiteboard is one infinite canvas to explore your ideas. All whiteboards
will have a lined grid background.



 1. Navigate back to your whiteboard in your space.

 2. Select from one of our best-practice templates to get started.

 3. Access whiteboard-specific tools such as sticky notes, text, lines, shapes,
    stickers, and stamps.

 4. Use the floating toolbar to edit and annotate.

 5. Select Share to open the share dialog for your whiteboard. Invite people,
    copy a link to the whiteboard, or update the share settings.

 6. See who’s collaborating on your board.

 7. Add or remove whiteboard restrictions through the lock icon in the top
    navigation.

 8. Start a timer to stay on track by selecting the clock icon in the right
    toolbar.

 9. Use the zoom to adjust your view settings.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


WHAT’S INSIDE YOUR TOOLBAR?




WHAT ARE THE NAVIGATION TOOLS?

Pan, zoom and move around your whiteboard using navigation tools. Learn more
about navigation

 * Use the cursor to select and move objects.

 * Use the hand tool to pan and zoom.


WHAT ARE STICKY NOTES?

Sticky notes on whiteboards are just the virtual equivalent of the sticky notes
we all know and love. Use them to get down your thoughts and move them around
the whiteboard to organize ideas or patterns.

Unlike paper sticky notes, whiteboard sticky notes can be as small or as big as
you need to explore your ideas. Note: Sticky notes can only contain text and
emojis. Learn more about sticky notes

Use sticky notes for:

 * brainstorm sessions

 * retrospectives

 * as cards in a ‘Card sorting’ exercise

 * Kanban boards, to-do lists, or project management

 * anything you need to get out of your mind!


WHAT ARE LINES?

Use lines to create paths between sticky notes, text objects, or shapes. They’ll
help you organize your whiteboard and create a flow of thought.

In whiteboards, we have:

 * straight lines

 * dynamic lines

Lines can also be connectors between things. Learn more about lines and
connectors


WHAT IS THE TEXT TOOL?

Use the text tool to create blocks of body text with titles and headings, or
take down some quick ideas. Learn more about text


WHAT ARE SHAPES?

Use a variety of shapes to build diagrams, mind maps, and flowcharts. You can
add text to the shapes to note down thoughts and use connector lines to connect
them. Learn more about shapes


WHAT ARE STAMPS AND STICKERS?

Sometimes, visualizing feedback and reactions can be more valuable than doing so
with text. Use stamps and stickers to do this and, at the same time, bring your
whiteboards to life.

 * Stamps are more granular representations of how someone feels about a
   specific idea, piece of content on a board, etc. They're generally used to
   vote on an idea or sticky note.

 * Stickers are more macro-level and are used to add a bit of fun to a board,
   replace a heading, or convey a feeling (not necessarily about a specific
   piece of content on the board).

Learn more about stamps and stickers


WHAT IS THE IMAGE TOOL?

Add life to your whiteboard using images. You can get the team to share photos
from their favorite holiday as an icebreaker, add them to brainstorms, insert
screenshots, or build vision boards. Learn more about images


HOW DOES LINKING WORK ON WHITEBOARDS?

Add more context to your whiteboarding sessions using links. You can link to
pages outside of whiteboards, Jira issues, Confluence pages, or your favorite
cloud apps and websites. Learn more about inserting links

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


INTEGRATE WHITEBOARDS INTO YOUR ATLASSIAN WORKFLOW

At its core, whiteboards bridge the gap between where teams think and where
teams do. Teams can think freely on whiteboards and act in Jira Software,
Trello, and Confluence.

With whiteboards and the Atlassian platform, a button click turns their ideas
into actionable projects and tasks.


CREATE JIRA ISSUES FROM WHITEBOARDS

Quickly turn sticky notes and shapes into single or multiple Jira issues - in
Jira Software, Jira Work Management, or Jira Product Discovery. This will help
turn ideas on whiteboards into actionable work items in Jira. Learn more about
creating issues in whiteboards


IMPORT JIRA ISSUES



The Jira issue import dialog lets you search for and insert single or multiple
Jira issues into your whiteboard. You can use a simple plain text search or more
advanced Jira Query Language (JQL) to find issues. It works for Jira Software,
Jira Work Management, Jira Product Discovery, and Jira Service Management. Learn
more about importing Jira issues


EMBED YOUR WHITEBOARD INTO JIRA, CONFLUENCE, AND TRELLO

Easily embed ideas and add visualization to your workflows by embedding a
whiteboard Smart Link to project posters, product roadmaps, kanban boards, and
more. Learn more about Smart Links


MOVE IDEAS FROM YOUR WHITEBOARD INTO JIRA AND CONFLUENCE

If you’re not looking to showcase your entire whiteboard elsewhere, take the
ideas you need or want to your other products. Be it after brainstorming or a
retro - get things happening by copying text, sticky notes, or shapes into a
Confluence page or a Jira issue description. Learn more moving content from your
whiteboard
