1.10 Tutorial: Arrows

Arrows are available on sticker walls. They are positioned globally on the map.
✔️ With arrows you can:
- Visually connect text fields with each other (helpful for brainstorming)
- Mark sequences and process steps (workflows/flowcharts)
- Structure mind maps (branches with text fields)
- Define processes
- Create tree diagrams with text fields
✔️ Arrows can also be used on maps. See the example map “Culinary Journey”.
✔️ Here you can find example maps with arrows and text fields.

The map must be set to the “Sticker Wall” format. You will then find three blue buttons in the top right.
Then click on the blue button “Arrow”, and an arrow will be added to the map.

In the case of an arrow, the following editing options are available:
1. Change the type of arrow (single, double, line)
2. Change the color of the arrow
3. Choose position (move the move icon or move the arrow itself)
4. Delete arrow
5. Change rotation (with icon at the arrowhead)

Arrows should not be placed on elements of a background graphic because these graphics change according to the size of the screen. Resize the browser window to see how the background image scales automatically.
Arrows should always be directed only at boxes, columns, text fields, and other arrows, as these are absolutely.

Positioning an arrow with the mouse can be imprecise. To position an arrow more precisely, select the arrow (or add a new one) and then use your keyboard.
Hold down the Shift key and use the cursor keys (← ↑ → ↓) to precisely position the arrow.
Instead of Shift, hold Ctrl to move the arrow in smaller increments.
