How to add text on a Freeform board on iPad

On iPad, you can add text to a Freeform board using a sticky note or text box, or you can add text within a shape. With a keyboard connected, typing starts as soon as the item appears. You can also change the font, alignment, and more.

1. Go to the Freeform app on your iPad.
2. Open a board, or tap the New Board button to start a new one and then do one of the following:
   • Add a text box: Tap the Add Text Box button.
   • Add text inside a shape: Tap the Content Hub button. Then tap the Add Shape button.
   • Add a sticky note: Tap the Add Sticky Note button.
3. Double-tap the text box, shape, or sticky note. Enter text. (If you have a keyboard connected, you can start typing as soon as the item appears.)
4. To change the font, alignment, and more, select the object and then tap the Modify Text button in the formatting tools.
