When to use a title versus a text box?

Titles are great for separating different sections within a mural. They are usually bigger compared to a text box. You can add more texts with text boxes, including paragraphs, to explain a concept in detail. You definitely can’t do this with sticky notes designed to take smaller amounts of words.

How to add titles and text boxes

How can you bring more life to your canvas with titles and text boxes? Here are some simple steps to help you get started.

  1. Check the left tool for the first icon. Click this, and it reveals icons for the title and text box
  2. Click and drag Title or text box onto the canvas
  3. To edit the title and text box, select the object you want to edit. A formatting menu appears next to the object.
  4. Use the formatting menu to edit the font, color, background and text size. You can also add links to your title or text box to navigate collaborators to other content.

Hi there, Lindsey here, and I'm going to show you how to add titles and text boxes. To add a title or a text box, look at the left hand side menu. And in the first menu here in text, we have titles and text boxes. Now to add a title or a text box, click and drag them over into the mural canvas. This one's a title, so we can call this introduction. I can make the title bigger, I can change the color, I can pick purple, and I can make it bold. Again, I can pick that purple color, I can do a handful of different things. Now that I have my title to bring a text box, I just click and drag in a textbox. You'll notice that the textbox is a little bit smaller. Subtitles are used for different separating different sections or a different title within your mural. And then text boxes are for maybe when you want to add more text or say with introduction, this might include my instructions. So step one, open the mural. And so you can make you can make textboxes, wider or skinnier, depending what you're looking to do. The difference for when you might use a textbox versus a save maybe a sticky note and you'll notice you can switch types here on the end is sticky notes are great for when you have a certain smaller amount of words, right with the text boxes. If you need to add a paragraph or you need to add longer amounts of text. That's an instance when you might use a text box. I like to use text boxes for instructions like This and then I'll even sometimes add in an icon to show a list of steps. So now I have my title, introduction. And then I have my instructions. And I can do again I can duplicate and now I can have multiple step one, maybe step two is add a title, and textbox. Perfect, and then I can drag over my number a little number two. So now you've been able to see how to add a title and a text box to a mural.
