STEP 1

Create or Choose From a Template

Start Fresh or Start Smart — Either Way, You're Moving in Seconds.

Every workspace in Zunoy Canvas starts with a Project — think of it as your folder. Inside each project, you create Boards. That's where the real work happens.Not sure where to begin? You don't have to start from scratch. Zunoy Canvas gives you three ways to hit the ground running:One project. Multiple boards. Every option open from the moment you sign in.

Private Templates

Boards your team has built and saved for repeated use. Your formats, your structure, ready when you need them.

Community Templates

Real boards built and shared by designers, developers, educators and founders across the Zunoy Canvas community. Browse, pick one that fits, and make it yours.

Zunoy Templates

Curated starter boards built by the Zunoy team for the most common workflows. Brainstorming sessions, project planning, retrospectives — all ready to go.

STEP 2

Invite Your Team

Your Team is One Invite Away.

Already on Zunoy Canvas? They'll get a notification right inside their workspace no switching tabs, no digging through emails.
Not on Zunoy Canvas yet? No problem. They'll get an email invite with a direct link. One click, quick signup, and they're in — right where you need them.
No chasing. No confusion. Just your team on the board.
When you create a board you decide who gets in and what they can do. Invite your team as:

Viewers

they can see everything, change nothing

Editors

they can build, draw, and collaborate actively

Admins

they manage the board, the team, and the access

Invite to Board

STEP 3

Draw and Diagram

Every Tool Your Team Reaches For. Already on the Board.

Sticky notes, freehand drawing, connectors, shapes — every tool your team reaches for is already on the board, no switching apps. Draw freely, build UML diagrams, add charts, use Mermaid syntax, insert images, leave comments, and build from templates.

COLLABORATE ON BOARD

This Is Where the Thinking Gets Loud.

01

Real-Time Collaboration That Actually Stays Real-Time.

Every change your team makes shows up instantly for everyone on the board. No refreshing. No version confusion. No "which file is the latest?" Just one board, one truth, one team — moving together without missing a beat. Jump into the Live Voice Room and talk while you build — no Zoom, no Slack, no tab switching. Your team's voice is right there on the canvas.

02

Comments and Mentions That Stay in Context.

Leave comments directly on any element of the board — a diagram, a sticky note, an idea. Mention a teammate and they get notified instantly inside the workspace if they're on Zunoy Canvas, via email if they're not. No feedback buried in chat threads. No context lost. Every conversation stays exactly where it belongs — on the board.

03

Activity Timeline — Nothing Gets Missed.

Every action on the board is tracked in the activity timeline. See who added what, who commented where, and what changed since you last opened the board. Your team's work stays transparent, accountable and easy to follow — without anyone having to ask "what happened while I was away?"

PUBLISH AND SHARE

Your Board. Live. Anywhere.

When your project is ready to be seen — or still in progress — Zunoy Canvas boards are ready to be shared, anywhere, with anyone.

Share a Live Board in One Click.

Publish and share your board with a live link. Anyone with access can view your progress in real time — no export needed, no waiting for updates.

Clean View. No Distractions.

Zunoy Canvas gives you a clean, distraction-free viewing experience. The people you share with just see your work, presented exactly the way you intended.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to create an account to use Zunoy Canvas?

Yes — a free Zunoy Canvas account is all you need to get started. No credit card. No commitment. Just sign up and your workspace is ready in seconds.

How do I create my first project and board?

A solid workspace setup is simple. Create a project first — think of it as your folder. Then create boards inside that project. That's where you open up, start building, and do the actual work. Simple as that.

Can I start from a template instead of a blank board?

Absolutely. Zunoy Canvas gives you three types of templates to choose from: private templates your team has saved, community templates built and shared by real teams, and Zunoy curated starters for common workflows. Pick one, make it yours, and your team is moving in minutes.

Can I invite someone who doesn't have a Zunoy account?

You can't add them as a collaborator without an account — but you can still create and share online board links with a live view for anyone. If they want to actively participate, they'll need to sign up, which takes about 30 seconds and costs nothing.
