Fasten your seatbelt and hold on tight, because today we're learning
how to get started with Lucidspark in under 5 minutes.
If you're new to visual collaboration,
you may be unfamiliar with the term virtual whiteboard.
Basically, it's a space
where people come together to interact, write and share ideas.
But Lucidspark is so much more than that.
It's the only solution designed to help you throughout your workflow.
Whether that's brainstorming and ideation, project planning
and facilitation, or even organization and evaluation.
Can I get a water?
With an infinite number of use cases.
It can be challenging to know where to begin.
We've structured this video to teach you the essential skills
that you'll need to start turning your ideas into reality.
To get started, visit lucidspark.com and sign up for a free account or sign in
if you already have one.
Doing this will direct you to your homepage.
Here you can view and organize boards,
create and manage folders, and access templates.
You know that old saying cheaters never prosper?
Well, that's not exactly true when it comes to templates.
Using a template will save you so much time and effort,
you'll feel like you're cheating in a good way.
I can say that right?
Click here to view our most popular templates
or type in a keyword to search for something specific.
If you decide to start from scratch,
click the plus new button, Lucidspark and then blank board.
Once you're in your workspace, start by giving your board a name.
This will make it easier to find and reference in the future.
Now that we're all set up, it's time to have some fun.
Navigate to the primary toolbar, then drag and drop
or select and click to add an object to your canvas.
Hover over an icon to learn what it is or just give it a try.
You can always undo your latest action by clicking here.
To move an object, just click and drag.
To resize an object, click on it and then drag one of the blue circles
that appear around it.
Double click on an object to add text.
Here you can edit the size format and font family of the text
and when you're finished making changes.
Click outside the object to complete your edit.
Now that we've got multiple
objects on the board, we'd better talk about navigating the canvas.
To do this
right click on your mouse or use a two finger scrolling gesture on your trackpad.
To zoom in or out, hold the spacebar and scroll.
Or if you're on a trackpad, use the pinching gesture.
If you need to move across a large area quickly, use the minimap found here.
Oh, shoot.
Sorry.
Just need to answer this real quick.
Hi, Bear.
Hey, Morgan.
Oh, sorry. Am I interrupting something.
A little bit.
I am training some of our users on how to use Lucidspark right now.
Say hello. Hi, everyone.
What can I do for you?
Well, I don't want to hold you up, but we've got our team activity
coming up in a few weeks.
I've already had some team members, other ideas to a Lucidspark board,
but I'm wondering if you'd be willing to add a few as well.
This is perfect.
You could learn a thing or two.
Yeah, absolutely.
I'd love to help you with this, Morgan.
Okay, well, while you're doing that, I can take over for you.
You can invite others to your Lucidspark board at any time.
Just click the share button
and choose the sharing option that best suits your needs.
Usually I'll click here to copy the invitation to my computer clipboard.
This way I can paste it wherever I need.
Collaborators can work with you in real time or whenever
it's convenient for them, depending on your needs.
Great. It looks like Bear got my invitation.
Let's see what he adds to the board.
Oh, that's awesome. I really like that idea.
To show how much I love it, I'm actually going to click on this sticky note,
then the emoji face and select the heart emoji.
This idea could be a little more specific.
Let's add a comment and ask for more details.
To do this, click on the object, select more and then add a comment.
View all the comments on your Lucidspark board by clicking here.
Respond or mark a comment resolved by clicking here.
Now that we've got our team's
ideas on the board, it's time to sythesize.
Not that kind of synthesize.
I'm talking about collecting and grouping ideas in order to make sense of them.
Lucidspark helps you bring your best ideas to life
with features like tags, voting and powerful gather and sort tools.
To tag an object, click once and then select the tag icon from the menu.
Type in your tag classification and continue until you've tagged
everything you need.
Now navigate to the Organize icon.
Select the method you'd like Lucidspark to use
to organize your ideas and watch the magic happen.
This looks incredible.
Now we just need to schedule a follow up team meeting
so we can use the voting feature to select our next activity.
I'm back.
Thanks for taking care of everybody, Morgan.
We've got some really good ideas for team activities.
I'm especially interested in the team tattoos.
Yeah, okay.
We'll see about that.
As always, thanks for watching and be sure to check out
our other helpful resources at training.lucid.co
Until next time.
