Navigate and present scenes in your Freeform boards on iPad

You can save scenes—saved views of your board—to organize your boards into sections, then quickly navigate and present those parts of your board to others. Scenes let you identify and label content so you can present your board, section by section, and rearrange the order in which you present your board. You can also use scenes to identify the parts of your board you want to print or export as a PDF.
