Ziteboard is an online service that we could be using at any time, if we want to ccreate some type of drawings collaboratively.
This means that with the help of friends or any other stranger, you can create a truly spectacular drawing, although at first Maybe Ziteboard seems like a too basic tool to us due to the elements it uses to make this type of graphics.
How to use the free version of Ziteboard
Once you head towards Ziteboard's official website You will be able to admire a different number of packages offered by their developers; There is one right there with which you can reach work in a simple and minimalist way, this being free. We suggest that you use this option so that you can start testing each of the functionalities of this online service because for many people, it is not suitable when creating drawings collaboratively.
If you use the free version, only two people can interact in the same drawing (its creation); this can be useful If you are learning to draw any type of sketches and you invite someone with much more knowledge in this art to help you create them as a tutor or advice. The way to register a free account with Ziteboard can be done without any problems with your Facebook social network.
Before you associate your Facebook account with Ziteboard, the interface of this online application will appear too simple and simple. When you link the social network to this online service, the options will appear so you can request help, using a menu in the upper left; The appearance of this menu is very similar to what you generally see in the Google Chrome browser, that is, to the three horizontal lines (hamburger menu), icon that can change with your Facebook profile photo when you log in to it.
Towards the right side there will be three icons, which will help you:
- Invite another user so they can collaborate with your drawings on Ziteboard.
- Undo an action executed in the drawing.
- The trash can to erase everything we have created.
If you look towards the bottom you will be able to admire two additional icons, which will help you:
- Choose the pencil to draw.
- Take a close-up of some work area on the panel.
By default, the pencil usually appears blue, which will be displayed every time you start generating some type of line or stroke. With every touch (or click) you make on the pen, it will change color; Unfortunately there are only a few to use, that is, you can choose between blue, red and black only.
If you select the icon at the top left (the hamburger or your profile photo) three new options will appear, which will help you:
- Save the project you are doing at that moment.
- Load the project that you have left pending.
- Exit and log out of Ziteboard.
If, instead, you select the icon that is shaped like a "profile" (which corresponds to the users' invitation to collaborate), a new window will appear, in which you will be offered a small code that you must share with the person that you want me to start working on each of your drawings.
Once all the people are synchronized through the browser to Ziteboard, What one draws can be seen by the other and vice versa; The developer of this online tool mentions that despite the absence of options to make circles, boxes or any other additional that you have admired in different specialized applications, Creativity is what really needs to be used in order to create something interesting.
We recommend that you always use the same Internet browser in which you usually log into Facebook; This is because if at a certain time you close your work session in Ziteboard, When you log back in you will find your project just as you left it the last time., as long as you have used the option to "save" the project.
