# Boards

> Create and manage image collections and storyboards in Pindeck

# Boards

Boards are collections of images you can organize, share, and use as the basis for storyboards and decks.

## Create a board

1. Select one or more images from the gallery
2. Click **Add to Board**
3. Choose an existing board or create a new one with a name and description
4. Set visibility to public or private

## Board structure

A board contains:

| Field         | Type              | Description                           |
| ------------- | ----------------- | ------------------------------------- |
| `name`        | string            | Board title                           |
| `description` | string (optional) | Board description                     |
| `isPublic`    | boolean           | Whether the board is publicly visible |
| `imageIds`    | ID\[]             | Ordered list of image references      |

## Storyboards

A storyboard is a visual layout built from a board's images. Each storyboard has:

* A **template** that defines panel layout and arrangement
* **Panels** that map images to specific positions
* **Source images** that can be swapped or reordered

### Storyboard fields

| Field            | Type      | Description                           |
| ---------------- | --------- | ------------------------------------- |
| `boardId`        | ID        | Parent collection                     |
| `title`          | string    | Storyboard title                      |
| `templateId`     | string    | Layout template identifier            |
| `panels`         | object\[] | Array of `{ imageId, layout, order }` |
| `sourceImageIds` | ID\[]     | Images available for panel assignment |

## Managing boards

* **Reorder** — Drag and drop images within a board to rearrange
* **Add/remove** — Add new images or remove existing ones at any time
* **Duplicate** — Copy a board as a starting point for a new collection
* **Share** — Public boards are accessible via a shared link

## From board to deck

Boards are the foundation for decks. When you create a deck from a board, the board's images become slides. See [Decks](/guides/decks) for details.
