Frames
Use Frames to organize content on your YouDesign canvas. Imagined as individual pages, Frames can contain all sorts of elements available within the YouDesign editor. Frames are useful for segmenting information into manageable sections, especially during presentations or when working on different project parts on the same canvas.
Users can slide through Frames, giving them a structured approach for discussing or reviewing content for collaboration purpose.
Frames make it easier to export specific areas of a board or to set a specific view for shared board links.
