How do I delete things on my board?

There are a few ways to get rid of stuff you don't need anymore.

 You can use the erase tool — this is great for taking out just a part of your drawing. 

You can also select strokes and then hit delete on your keyboard
—or—
by clicking the X in the top left.

How do I change between a team and pro plan?

If you are a member of several plans — maybe you have your own Pro plan and you belong to a couple teams — you can change plans using the arrow next to your name.

Remember: Your boards belong to either your pro account or a team account — for security purposes you can't move boards between these plans.

How does team admin work?

To learn all about teams, admin and security, please visit the Limnu for Teams page. 

Getting everyone on board and managing their security and sharing settings is super easy.
Add, edit, and delete team members anytime you want.

Limnu for Teams allows you to choose administrators, decide who can share boards outside of your team, lock the whole team down tight or open it up for big collaborations. The choice is yours and you can change your mind, anytime.

How do I add a bunch of people to my team?

Once you have a team setup it’s super easy to add everyone on your team. You can add individual emails or you can copy and paste a bunch of emails into the box.

Want to know something super cool? You can paste whatever you want into that box and Limnu is smart enough to find the email addresses, so you can export a team directory to a CSV or PDF and then do a massive copy/paste and you’ll see just the emails and can review before inviting.

Have more than a few but not enough to need to export to a directory? Here’s a nifty way to handle it:

Step 1: Start composing an email in your mail app of choice, add everyone that you want to invite…

Step 2: Copy/paste that entire group of people into the address box.

Step 3: Limnu will sort through the data, find the email addresses and you are ready to go!

Check out our video walkthrough to learn how to add a lot of people to your team at once.
