Hey team, Agustin here, and I want to tell you a bit about our shapes, we have six different shapes that you can choose from in mural that you can simply drag out onto the canvas to customize your canvases a lot more. All that you need to do is simply click on the second option that you can see on the toolbar on the left side for shapes and connectors, and the bottom six options are all the shapes. So you can simply click and drag them out like this. And one thing that you may notice is that there are no text formatting options for these shapes. Well, the moment that you start typing in them, you actually get all of those options here. You can change the background color for them. You can change the border color, all the text format, the text font color, the line type that the border will have. So all of these things You can also increase the size. And when you increase the size, you can actually choose whether to make them either longer or wider. So it's a bit more customizable than, let's say a sticky note. And you can get very creative on what you can actually use the shapes for. So for example, I tend to use the square shape a lot for creating tables in MURAL, I tend to make them a bit of a rectangle, and then just simply duplicate them and align them to create maybe a grid, like I'm doing right here, since it's a lot easier than maybe drawing them out using the draw mode feature. So this is just one of the things that you can actually do with shapes. But then again, you with your own imagination can probably come up with many different ways to customize your murals and how to use the shapes to make everything is a bit more engaging.
