Use Scenes
Save views of a board as Scenes, fly between them, and step through a board like slides.
A Scene is a saved view of a board: a place and a zoom level you can come back to with one tap. Use Scenes to jump around a large board, or keep the Scenes panel open and step through a board like slides. Scenes are new in Corkulous 9.1.
Open the Scenes Panel
Tap the Scenes button in the board toolbar, or press Option-Command-S. On iPhone, Scenes is in the toolbar’s overflow menu. On Mac, you can also choose View > Show Scenes.
The panel floats over the board and stays open while you work. Drag it by its title bar to move it; Corkulous remembers where you left it. Tap the close button, or press Option-Command-S again, to hide it.
Add a Scene
- Pan and zoom until the board shows what you want to save.
- Tap Add Scene in the panel, or press
Shift-Command-S.
The scene is saved with a thumbnail and a name such as “Scene 1”. If the view is very close to a scene you already saved, Corkulous tells you which one and lets you cancel or add it anyway.
Add a Scene from Selected Items
Select one or more items, tap the More button at the top of the panel, and choose Add Scene from Selection. The scene frames those items, and it follows them if you move them later.
Go to a Scene
Tap a scene in the panel. The board flies to it: a far jump zooms out, travels, and zooms back in. Touch the board to stop partway. With Reduce Motion turned on, the board cross-fades.
To step through scenes in order, use the arrows at the top of the panel or the keyboard:
| Shortcut | Action |
|---|---|
Option-Command-] | Next Scene |
Option-Command-[ | Previous Scene |
Option-Command-1 to Option-Command-9 | Go to scenes 1 through 9 |
The panel stays open as you move, so you can walk through a board one scene at a time.
Scenes on Sub-Boards
A board and its sub-boards share one Scenes list. A scene on another board shows that board’s name. Choosing it takes you there the way you would go yourself: out to the parent board, then into the sub-board, landing on the scene.
Rename, Replace, Reorder, and Delete
Tap the More button on a scene’s row, or touch and hold the row (right-click on Mac):
- Rename Scene: Give the scene a name that says what it shows.
- Replace with Current View: Save what is on screen now in place of the scene’s old view.
- Print Scene: Go to the scene and print it.
- Export Scene as PDF: Go to the scene and export that view as a PDF. See Export boards.
- Delete Scene: Remove the scene. You can also swipe left on a row.
To change the order, drag a row, or choose Edit List from the More button at the top of the panel.
Adding, renaming, replacing, deleting, and reordering scenes can all be undone.
Scenes and Sync
Scenes are stored with the board, so they sync through iCloud and Dropbox and travel with a board you duplicate or export as a native Corkulous board. If two devices change different scenes, both changes are kept.
On a read-only or archived board, you can go to scenes but not change them.
