Sections are a great way to arrange your content in clear areas while keeping related information in the same file. You can use them to make presentations, streamline your searches, and add extra context when moving cards between stacks.

Adding sectionsLink to this section

From a Whimsical board, you can add a section in three* ways:

• Add a section from the canvas menu:

• Hit the . key on your keyboard
• Select existing items you want to wrap in a section, then right click (or open the three dots menu) and choose Create section:

*There’s a fourth way too, which you’ll find in this article about presenting in Whimsical. 😉

Customizing sectionsLink to this section

Once you’ve added a section, there are a few ways to customize it to suit your needs:

1. Name your section - give your section a clear and descriptive name.

2. Customize the background - you can choose between a solid color-filled background or stick with the default, which has a clean, outlined look.

3. Control content edges - decide whether you’d like your content to extend beyond the edges of the section or be neatly clipped to keep everything within the section.

With these options, you can easily fine-tune your sections to make them look just right!
