What is the Blackboard

The Blackboard is Lenzro's infinite spatial canvas — the main surface where all your work lives. Unlike a document or a list, the Blackboard lets you place, arrange, and connect items freely in two-dimensional space.

You can think of it as a wall in a war room: you pin things up, draw connections between them, zoom out for the big picture, and zoom in for the details.

Canvas Tools

The Blackboard toolbar gives you access to:

Select — Click and drag to move or resize items.
Pan — Hold Space + drag to pan across the canvas.
Zoom — Use scroll wheel or pinch-to-zoom. The minimap in the corner shows your position.
Add Widget — Insert text blocks, images, charts, embeds, and more.
Connect — Draw lines between items to show relationships.
Group — Select multiple items and group them into a labelled region.

Spatial Layout

The spatial nature of the Blackboard is a key productivity feature. Research shows that humans find and recall information faster when it has a consistent spatial position. By keeping related work in the same area of the canvas across sessions, your team builds a shared spatial memory of the workspace.

Common patterns include:

Top area for strategy and vision
Left column for current sprint or active work
Right side for reference material and assets
Bottom area for archived or completed work
