Elements & Tools
PDFs, videos & other files
The canvas happily holds the rest of your project too: PDFs, videos, Office documents, plain text, archives — as tidy file cards that open, preview and travel with their folder.

Getting files in
Drag & drop them onto the canvas — one or many. Or place them into a board’s folder on disk and adopt them from the New Items pool. Each file becomes a card with an icon, its name and its type.
What each type does
| Type | On double-click |
|---|---|
| Opens in a new tab (browser) or the built-in viewer (iPhone/iPad/Mac app). | |
| Video (MP4, MOV, WebM…) | Plays full-screen; the card shows an auto-generated poster frame with a play button and the duration. |
| Word (.docx) | In-app text preview; “Open in app” hands it to Word & co. |
| Excel (.xlsx/.xls) | In-app sheet preview, tab by tab. |
| Text (.txt) | In-app preview. |
| ZIP & everything else | Download / open with the system. |
| Markdown (.md) | Becomes a real, editable document — not just an attachment. |
The right-click menu offers Open, Preview and Download for file cards; on iPhone/iPad, files open in the system viewer (QuickLook), so anything iOS can display, visualOS can display.
Files live with their folder
With a connected folder, each file is stored in the on-disk folder of the board it’s on — move the card into another folder in the app, and the file moves on disk too. Your project folder on disk is genuinely complete: layout, notes, documents and files.
Videos take captions like images do — select the video and add one via the floating bar. Handy for “final cut v3, client approved”.
