The Board
The Board is an endless whiteboard behind every workspace - draw, write, pin your sources next to your work, and show Mesh what you mean. It's the one place you think with your hands.
The toolbar
Everything you draw with lives in one dock at the bottom of the board. Reach for it with a mouse, a finger, or a stylus - the board works the same either way.
Many pages, one board
A single board holds as many pages as you like, like a sketchbook. The page button switches between them and lets you add, rename, or remove one - you always keep at least one. Each page remembers where you last looked and carries its own paper: blank, dots, grid, or lines.
Pin your sources beside your work
Pin here drops a source straight onto the current page, so it stays in view while you sketch and take notes around it. Pinned sources sit locked in place - unlock one when you want to move it, and use Go to source to jump back to its panel.
Flags and links on the canvas
Two small tools help you find your way around a big board and tie it back to the rest of your workspace.
- Board flags - drop a named violet marker to bookmark a spot. Search your flags, filter them by page, and click one to jump straight there.
- Reference links - the Add reference button drops a colored link to any source - or to a flag - right on the canvas. Its Open button jumps to whatever it points at.
Show Mesh your work
Mesh can't watch the canvas as you draw, so when you want it to see your work, you hand it a picture. Type / in the chat box to pull up the two board commands.
Board commands in chat
Every board picture you send is also saved to your Images - captured exactly as it looked the moment you sent it, so editing the board afterward won't change the picture Mesh already has. More in the chat panel.
Mesh can draw back
Mesh can add to the board itself: diagrams - a flowchart, a step-by-step sequence, a state diagram, or a mind map - plus sticky notes and short text labels, all as real shapes you can then edit yourself. Ask for more than one thing at once and it arrives as a single titled frame you can move or delete as a unit. New content drops into the nearest open space - and if you just sent a board snip, Mesh places its answer right beside the spot you snipped.
Anything you pin is fair game too: Mesh can read a pinned Library File, Image, or Artifact through that source. A pinned Video it can point you to, but never watch.
Tip Sketch a shape, drop a flag on it, then snip it and ask - it's the fastest way to point Mesh at exactly what you mean.
