Can I create wireframes?
Yes. Make low-fidelity drawings with shapes, text and notes. They are sketches for discussion, rather than interactive prototypes or production screens.
Can I invite stakeholders to the board?
Yes. Share an editable link with the intended group. Guests join with a name and do not need a paid seat.
