TL;DR
The new Board toolbar keeps all key tools in one place - select and move items, pan and zoom with the hand tool, undo or redo changes, and add content like stickies, text, drawings, shapes, tables, and comments. You can also pull in Wrike tasks, projects, folders, and dashboard widgets for live updates, and use the Board AI Assistant for ideas, summaries, and next steps.

Overview
In the New Board experience, the toolbar keeps all navigation and editing tools in one place, so you can move around the board, select and edit items, undo/redo changes, and add new content quickly. You can also add Wrike items (tasks, projects, and folders) and Wrike widgets to bring live work and reporting onto the canvas. Use the Board AI Assistant to generate ideas, define project scope, run retrospectives, and get instant help with prompts, summaries, and next steps.
Toolbar Sections
Select
Use Select to click, select, and move one or multiple items on your board. If you’re a facilitator, you can also control participant permissions - for example, whether they can edit, move, or interact with board elements during the session.
Navigation
Use the Hand tool to navigate the board without editing anything. Pan across the canvas to explore different areas, and zoom in or out to focus on details.
Undo or Redo
Use Undo to reverse your most recent change, or Redo to reapply it. Click either button multiple times to move step-by-step through your recent edits.
Tip
You can also use keyboard shortcuts - Ctrl+Z / Cmd+Z for Undo and Ctrl+Y (or Cmd+Shift+Z) for Redo.
Edition
Use the editing tools on the board toolbar to create and refine content.
You can:
Choose stickies with different colors

- Draw with the brush
- Add shapes

Add
Use the Board toolbar to add new content or bring existing work into your Board. You can insert Wrike items (tasks, projects, and folders), add Dashboard widgets for live reporting, convert existing elements into editable Board objects, and import supported files. You can also organize and clarify your work with text, shapes, connectors, icons, images, and zones.
