Pan, zoom, and move around your whiteboard in one of 2 ways:

Use the cursor tool to select and move objects

  1. Select the cursor in the toolbar, or use V to activate the select tool

  2. Select a single element

  3. Click and hold an empty space, then drag your cursor to select multiple elements

  4. Click and hold an element, then drag your cursor to move it

  2. Pan around the whiteboard using your mouse or trackpad:
    Mouse:

    • Click and drag to pan

    • Scroll to pan up and down

    • Scroll + <Shift> to pan left and right

    Trackpad:

    • Click and drag to pan

    • Use two fingers
