You can send a link to a copy of a Freeform board, so others can download the copy and add it to their boards, if you are signed in to your Apple Account. You can also export your Freeform board as a PDF to send a copy of it to others.
Anyone with the link can take the copy and make it their own. To send one, you must be online and signed in to iCloud.
Send a copy of a board
All it takes to send a copy of your board to anyone is a link, and they can then make the copy their own. To send a copy of the board, you need to be online and signed in to iCloud.
- Start the Freeform app on your iPhone.
- Do one of the following:
- While browsing All Boards: Touch and hold the board you want to share and tap Share.
- From inside a board: Tap the Share Board button.
- Tap the pop-up menu under the board name and choose Send a Copy. Tap one of the following:
- Copy iCloud Link: The link is copied to your clipboard. You can then paste it anywhere you like.
- Any contact or app icon: Follow the onscreen instructions.
You can send this link to as many recipients as you like. Anyone with the link can download the copy within 30 days. When browsing for the board, recipients can find it in All Boards, not the Shared section. (Shared is only for boards you’re collaborating on.)
Each new link sends a copy of the board as it was when you created it. When you send someone a copy, it opens as a new board. Changes on your board don’t appear on theirs, and anything they change doesn’t affect yours.
Note: Sending a copy leaves access to the original board unchanged.
Send a PDF of a board
- Start the Freeform app on your iPhone.
- Open a board, or tap the New Board button to start a new one.
-
In the board you want to send, tap the More button and then tap Export as PDF. (You may have to scroll down.)
If you saved scenes in your board, choose to export one of the following:
- The entire board as a single page: Tap Board.
- One scene per page: Tap Scenes.
- Choose how you want to send the PDF, such as in Messages or Mail and then follow the onscreen instructions.
People and groups you recently communicated with appear as icons. Tap one to send the board to them.
You can also export a board as a PDF while browsing All Boards. Touch and hold the thumbnail or name of the board, tap Share, then tap Export as PDF.
Quick tip: For a PNG of your board, take a screenshot and share it from the Photos app. Or select and copy the items you want to share, then paste them into other apps, like Mail or Files, as a PNG.
