Add diagrams to a Freeform board on iPhone

You can add diagrams to a Freeform board.

Create a diagram

You can easily create a connected diagram, such as a flowchart, by using connectors and the shape picker in Freeform.

  1. Go to the Freeform app 👁 Image
    on your iPhone.

  2. Open a board, or tap 👁 the New Board button
    to start a new one.

  3. Tap 👁 the More button
    ,     tap View Options, then tap Show Connectors.

  4. To begin your diagram, add an item by tapping 👁 the Content Hub button
    ,     👁 the Add Text Box button
    ,     or 👁 the Media button
    .

  5. Drag a connector arrow to where you want the next part of your diagram. When you let go, a small menu of shapes opens. Tap to select the next shape you want to add.

    To browse other shapes, tap 👁 the Other button
    .

  6. Tap 👁 the Done button
    when you’re finished diagramming.

You don’t see connector arrows when you select a line or multiple items.

Tip: You can quickly add equally spaced, aligned shapes with connectors. Tap to select a shape, then touch and hold a connector arrow. As you hold, a preview of the shape and line appears. When you let go, the shape and line are added to the board.

Connect two items with a line

  1. Select two items on your board.

  2. Tap 👁 the More button
    in the formatting tools at the bottom, then tap Add Connection Line.

Change connection points

After you add a connection line to a diagram on a Freeform board, you can change how it connects.

  1. Tap to select a connection line, then drag one of its endpoints (the blue dots).

  2. Attach the endpoint to another item on the board at a new connection point.

    You can attach a line to an item or (for some object types) near it. A filled circle appears when a connection is possible.

Thanks for your feedback.
