Minimap Navigation

Last updated: May 2026


The minimap shows a bird's-eye view of your whole board in the corner of the canvas. Use it to see where you are on a large board and to jump to any region with a click.

Reading the Minimap

  • Each canvas element appears as a small block in its rough position
  • The current viewport is shown as a highlighted rectangle
  • The minimap automatically scales to fit your board's extent

Click to Jump

Click anywhere on the minimap to pan the canvas to that location. Drag the highlighted viewport rectangle to scroll smoothly.

Toggling the Minimap

Show or hide the minimap from the canvas controls in the bottom-right corner. If the minimap gets in the way during a presentation or focused editing, toggle it off.

When the Minimap Helps Most

  • Navigating dense research boards with content spread across thousands of pixels
  • Finding your way back to a section after zooming in for detail work
  • Quickly orienting reviewers when sharing your screen
