Learn how to edit existing content on your iDroo whiteboard with various tools and options. This guide covers object selection, moving, scaling, styling, text editing, and using the context menu for efficient modifications.
All changes made to the whiteboard are immediately visible to other participants in real time, making collaboration seamless.
First, make sure you have the Pointer tool active. Select it from the toolbar or press P.
Click on an object to select it. Alternatively, click and drag a selection box around multiple objects to select them together.
Hold Shift while selecting objects to add them to the selection. This works for both clicking and the selection box method.
Hold Alt to remove undesired objects from the selection.
The objects that will become selected are shown with a highlight around them before you commit the selection.
To release selected objects, click anywhere on the board background, or press the Esc key.
To select locked objects, hold down the Ctrl key.
To select all objects on the whiteboard, press Ctrl + A.
To move an object, click and drag it to the desired location. You can move multiple objects by selecting them first, then dragging.
You can also move objects with the arrow keys. Normally, objects are moved by one pixel. Holding down Shift moves by 10 pixels, and holding Ctrl + Shift moves by 100 pixels.
To scale, click and drag one of the green handles on the object's corners. Hold Shift while dragging to maintain the object's aspect ratio.
To rotate an object, first select it by clicking on it. This will display the rotation handle — a blue dot above the object.
Click and drag the rotation handle to adjust the angle of the object. While rotating, a visual guide will appear showing the current angle in degrees.
For precise control, hold the Shift key while dragging to snap the rotation to specific increments in 5° steps.
On some objects, such as shapes, there are individual points that you can manipulate. These points show up as pink circles when the object is selected (only one object must be selected).
You can move these points around by dragging the pink handles to change the shape of the object.
With an object selected, adjust its style using the toolbar options. You can change properties like color, line thickness, and fill.
The available styling options vary based on the selected object type, such as shapes, lines, or text.
You can also change styles for multiple objects at once.
Double-click a text or equation object to enter edit mode. You can then modify the text or formula as needed. Every change you make is instantly streamed to all the participants.
When you have either the Text or Formula tool active, you can start editing objects of that type by simply clicking on them. The cursor is also inserted right where you click to ease the process.
Click outside the object or press Esc to exit edit mode.
To undo an action, press Ctrl + Z. To redo, press Ctrl + Y or Ctrl + Shift + Z.
You can also access the undo and redo options from the toolbar next to the logo.
Right-click on an object or selection to access the context menu, which provides various editing options.
On a phone or tablet, hold your finger or stylus in a spot for about a second and then release, to open the context menu.
When multiple objects are selected, there are additional alignment options available in the context menu:
