One of our most requested features is here! You can now change a storyboard's frame size after it's been created.

Find it in the storyboard sidebar, above Frame Fields.

This is particularly useful for teams working across multiple formats. Ideate in 16:9, then create versions in 4:5, 1:1, or 9:16 without starting from scratch.

For storyboards that already contain images, you'll be asked how to handle the resize.

keeps the whole image visible and adds whitespace where needed.


fills the new frame completely, but may trim the image edges.


leaves the frame size and images unchanged.

For storyboards without images, the frame size updates straight away.

This month's updates are about keeping your workspace clean and your team in sync.

✅

A row of avatars in the storyboard header now shows which teammates are online and who's got that exact board open.

✅

If a project has wrapped, you can now delete it from the Archive for good, instead of it sitting there taking up space.

✅

Images saved to Assets now use full resolution when added to a storyboard.

✅

If an image generation doesn't come through, you won't lose a credit for it - it's refunded automatically.

✅

Team admins now have a switch for the AI image generator, so they can control whether it's available across the whole team.

See your team's activity at a glance: who's online, and who's looking at a particular storyboard right now.

A row of teammate avatars now sits in the storyboard header, next to the version and status indicator.

✅

Full-colour avatars mean someone is online in Boords right now. A green dot means they have this exact storyboard open. Hover over an avatar for their name and status.

✅

If more than 5 people have access, the row collapses extra avatars into a "+N" counter. People actively viewing are sorted to the front, so you'll always see who's active first.

✅

The row only includes teammates who have access to a storyboard. Admins and full access members always appear. Restricted members show up once they've been given access to the project.

✅

Admins can click the avatar row to invite people or edit who has access to the project.

You'll see it in the header of any storyboard shared with more than one person.

A small change that makes a noticeable difference when managing a busy workspace.

You can now select multiple projects from the sidebar at once - to move or archive them in one go. No more repeating the same action project by project.

No more copy link → open email → paste → send.

We've added a new way to send storyboards for client review, directly from the presentation view.

Enter your client's email, add an optional note, and hit send. Boords emails them the storyboard link automatically. They click straight through, no account needed.

A new Activity panel in the share view tracks views, comments, and link opens, including from clients who don't have a Boords account. So now you'll know when they've actually looked at the work.

Open any storyboard, click , and look for Share settings to get started.

The crop tool has been updated with a faster, more responsive UI and full rotation through any angle.

The subheading shows the storyboard and frame you're working on, so you'll know what you're cropping. Crops are saved as a frame revision - the original is always there if you need it.

Not quite the right angle?

The Camera tab regenerates your image from a different viewpoint without starting over. Pick from a range of presets - angle, height, distance - and Boords renders the same shot from the new position.

Open any frame in the editor and select the Camera tab in the sidebar to get started.

Every reframe is saved as a frame revision, so you can compare angles side by side and revert if a take doesn't land.

If your team uses Slack, you can now connect Boords and receive your notifications as direct messages. Mentions, replies, follows and status changes land in your DMs the moment they happen, with a link back to the comment in Boords.

Slack DMs work alongside the notifications inbox - the same notifications, delivered to where you're already working.

A team owner or admin installs the Boords app on the Slack workspace once. Each teammate then connects their own account from Settings → Account → Notifications to start receiving DMs. Notifications go to the recipient only. Nothing posts to channels or surfaces to the rest of the team.

Every time a frame's image changes, Boords saves it as a revision, so you can always get back to an earlier version without starting over.

Generate, restyle, reframe or drag in a new image, and each one is stored automatically.

Revisions show up in both the storyboard edit view and in the editor. In the editor, you'll see the full history as a row of thumbnails, and clicking any one of them sets it as the active image.

You can also lock a revision to protect it from being overwritten. Handy when a frame has been signed off and you want to make sure it stays that way. Revisions can be unlocked, but you'll see a warning when you do so. All lock and unlock events are tracked in the team activity log.

We've added two new tools to the AI image generator!

lets you sketch a rough layout before you generate.

Open a blank frame, pick up the brush and block out the composition - where the actor stands, where the window is, what's on the desk. Then add a prompt and hit Generate. The AI follows your layout, so you can keep iterating on the prompt without losing the composition you have in mind.


lets you draw over a generated image to highlight where to make a change, without affecting the rest of the frame.

If the result isn't right, the previous version is saved as a revision so you can hop back to it. 


It's particularly handy late in the process, when a brief change comes in and you don't want to rebuild the whole AI-generated frame from scratch.


Both tools are in the Canvas tab in the Editor. Open any frame, head to → to give them a try.
