Common questions

My boards are not syncing between devices

Sign in to the same Apple ID on both devices (Settings → your name) and make sure iCloud is on.
In Settings → your name → iCloud → Apps Using iCloud (or Saved to iCloud), make sure LightBoard is on, and that iCloud storage is not full.
Open LightBoard on both devices and wait a minute. The home screen shows “Syncing…” and then “Synced”.

How do I make a GIF?

Open a board, tap + in the frame timeline to add frames and draw each one. Use the Animate tab to play it and choose the speed. Then tap Share in the More tab to export a looping GIF.

How do I save a sticker?

In the More tab choose Sticker. LightBoard saves a transparent PNG to a “LightBoard” album in Photos (it asks for permission the first time). If you said no, turn it on in Settings → LightBoard → Photos.

How do I zoom, and how do I reset it?

Pinch to zoom and drag with two fingers to pan. Tap the 100% chip at the top right of the board to reset.

How do I clear the board, reorder or delete boards?

Double-tap the eraser to clear the current frame (undo brings it back). In list view, swipe right to favorite or duplicate, swipe left to delete, and press and hold a row to drag it to a new place.

I deleted a board by accident

Deleted boards cannot be recovered from inside the app. If you deleted a board on one device, it is removed from your other devices through iCloud too.
