Embedding files in Asana

Whimsical files can be embedded in projects in Asana as a project brief, under "Key resources" in the Project Overview tab.

First, create a new project brief. Or if there's already a project brief, click anywhere on the title to open it:

Within the project brief, there are three ways to embed your Whimsical file.

Click the + button & select "Other media" from the drop down.
Type "/media" & select "Other media".
Click "Insert" in the floating edit menu, then select "Other Media". Shown here:

With all of these methods you'll paste in a Whimsical embed link. Read on and learn where to grab this link. 👇

Copying Shareable Links from Whimsical

Open the file you'd like to embed, and click "Embed" under the airplane icon on the top right:

Next, decide if you'd like to embed the entire file, or just a specific section.

To embed the entire file, leave "Crop to Current Viewport" unchecked.
To embed a section of the file, scroll so only that section is visible on your screen, then check "Crop to Current Viewport":

Keep embedded files private

A public embed can be viewed by anyone.
A private embed can only be seen by members of the Whimsical Workspace where the file is stored.

To keep an embed private, uncheck "Enable Public Access".

Zoom in & out using the buttons in the bottom right corner of the embed window — It's not possible to zoom out past the selected viewport.
Click & drag to move the Whimsical file to view different areas.
To open the file in Whimsical, click on the Whimsical logo in the lower left.
