# Board View

Rooms are composed of different sized boards, which help to organize and bring meaning to your visual elements.

You may add content to your board from the Dock and manipulate this content using different interaction modes and utilities to find and highlight visual information.

## Accessing a board

Select a board from your room to access it.
