While working on new features, it’s important to improve the basics every now and then. That’s why we redesigned and enhanced all the objects on the board.
There are three simple goals we tried to achieve with this update:
- to bring the design of comments, text boxes etc. up to date
- to improve the handling of objects on your boards
- to add more functionality
Redesign
You may have noticed that the comments on your board look a little different than before. A few added effects can make a big difference!
Since you probably know who you’re working with we hid the names and dates next to the picture. Don’t worry, they show up when hovering over the comment.
The biggest change is probably the object toolbar which we completely redesigned and enhanced. You now find it at the top of every selected object. It’s equipped with a drag handle to make it more simple and elegant to move the objects around.
Get a quick overview of the buttons. Some of them you will only see on specific items (e.g. task status).
Recolor
Another new feature: You are now able to set a background color for text boxes, headlines, rectangles and circles. Please note that headlines and text boxes have a transparent background and border by default. To change the attributes simply click the border or background icon in the object toolbar and select your preferred color.
Resize
We are also happy to announce that we finally implemented this eagerly awaited resize function. All objects, even images or your document’s pages, can now be resized freely. There is also a button to bring them back to the original size (just in case).
We hope you like the new features! And as mentioned before, all of them are already available on your boards.

We teased it yesterday, that we want to add an overview for visual type persons. So now you have it, we introduce the grid view.
The Grid view emphasizes the thumbnail of the board and reduces clutter to make room for the visual board representation. The title and administrative functions are available on hover. We hope this appeals to visual type thinkers.
With this view we now have 3 distinct displays in the boards overview:
- combined: a thumbnail, open tasks, meta informations and administrative functions
- list: the title, open tasks and reduced meta informations
- grid: preview image, open task
All views give quick access to the administrative functions. List and grid view show these options only on mouse over to reduce visual clutter.

We put in some effort, to create a new facebook page. Up to now, we only had our wall as greeting. Now we have a much better experience for users, who want to know what we do.
The page features direct access to a demonstration board. So you can get the same fast try-out like our website provides. For our current users of Conceptboard we will show you the last accessed boards, if you are still logged in with us.
Along with this we also created a new userphoto which better shows what we do.

oder die Kunst einem Board etwas anzuhängen.
Ihr habt häufig danach gefragt: In Conceptboard gibt es jetzt die Möglichkeit hochgeladene Dateien auf einem Board auch wieder als Datei herunterzuladen.
Außerdem habt Ihr uns darin bestätigt, dass die Metaebene des Boards eure Diskussionen beschleunigt. Statt detailverliebter Diskussionen mit den Vorschlägen und Varianten aller Teilnehmer können simpel und abstrakt Skizzen erstellt und Aufgaben verteilt werden. Deshalb ist die jetzt neu vorhandene Funktion in der Übersicht zu Hause, damit ihr euch auf die Diskussion auf den Boards konzentrieren könnt.
Jede Datei, die auf ein Board geladen wird, ist gleichzeitig als Download in der Übersicht verfügbar. Bildformate und PDF Dokumente werden direkt auf dem Board dargestelt, damit ihr sofort drauflos kritzeln könnt. Gleichzeitig steht die Datei als Download bereit. Andere Dateien (z.B. Zip Archive oder HTML Templates) die wir nicht auf das Board legen, stehen somit ab jetzt als Download zur Verfügung.
Aus Vertraulichkeitsgründen können die Downloads an einem Board nur von Mitarbeitern der selben Firma heruntergeladen werden. Damit können Gäste nicht auf fertige Dokumente zugreifen, aber dennoch ihr Feedback auf dem Board geben.
Jetzt ist euer Feedback gefragt: Wie verwendet ihr die Funktion? Welche Funktionen vermisst ihr noch (z.B. Tagging, Freigabe für Gäste, …)? Wie passt es in eure Arbeitsabläufe?
