### What Is a Board?

Boards in Scrintal are blank, infinite canvases that you can use to:

* Structure projects
* Organize thoughts visually
* Group-related documents and blocks
* Collaborate with others in real-time

You can create as many boards as you need, each serving a specific use case or project.

### Creating Boards

There are multiple ways to create a board in Scrintal:

#### Method 1: From the Desk

* Select a group of blocks by clicking and dragging your cursor across them
* Right-click the selection
* Choose "**Create Board**" from the menu
* Title your board and start organizing your content

#### Method 2: From the Sidebar

* Go to the **left-side menu**

#### Method 3: From Toolbar

* Go to the toolbar at the bottom of your screen

### Populating Your Board

Once your board is created, you can:

* Add new blocks directly
* Drag existing blocks or documents from your library
* Insert media, notes, lists, and more

This makes your board a central space to manage complex ideas and projects.

### Navigating and Visualizing

Boards help you visualize workflows:

* Rearrange and resize elements freely
* Use connectors and links to show relationships
* Zoom and pan for a clear overview of large projects
