Keep your team aligned on where each storyboard is in the workflow, from Draft to Approved.

Every storyboard version now has a clear status, visible in the Project Dashboard, Edit View and on shareable links.

✅

See whether a storyboard is Draft, In Progress, Review Needed, Changes Required or Approved.

✅

View storyboards grouped by status and drag them between columns to reflect progress. Status updates automatically when a storyboard is moved.

✅

Only team members can change statuses, keeping workflow management in your control.

✅

Every status change is recorded in the activity panel, so you can see who updated a storyboard and when.

✅

Clients and other guests can see the current status on shared storyboards, helping them stay informed.

Keep your projects moving smoothly from first draft to final approval with everyone on the same page.

Now you can take an existing storyboard frame and give it a fresh new look.

Open the image generator and select .

Boords will keep your scene as it is - layout, characters, poses - while transforming the image into the style you choose.

Try shifting styles to test out a new tone, or explore multiple styles for client options.

Image restyles are powered by Nano Banana Pro to apply different styles while keeping your scene intact. You can choose between for quick results or for more detailed images.

A quick, flexible way to reimagine your frames without rebuilding them from scratch!

The Activity Log is now clearer, faster and more helpful for tracking what’s happening across your team.

The feed stays up to date as you work, refreshing in the background.

You can now add multiple consistent characters to your Boords storyboards! Place up to 10 characters in a frame, position them how you like, and keep their look consistent across every scene.

Build a custom character library in the new Playground by uploading reference images or designing your own characters. Reuse them across projects, tweak poses, outfits, or expressions, and even change art styles while keeping the core character the same.

✅

Add up to 10 characters per frame, with full control over how they interact and where they appear.

✅

Create, save, and reuse characters across projects, with variations in pose, expression, outfit, or style.

✅

Upload products or other items and place them naturally in scenes with your characters.

✅

Reframe scenes into wide shots, close-ups, or anything in between while maintaining character consistency.

Character libraries are shared with your whole team, ensuring consistency across every project.

You can now use your own images as references when generating Similar Images with Boords!

Until now, you could only use AI-generated images as references, but now, any image you upload can help guide the results.

This makes it much easier to personalise your storyboards, maintain visual consistency, and get the exact look you're after.

✅

Generate Similar Images from any image you’ve uploaded, not just those created with Boords AI.

✅

Use your own characters, assets, or sketches to guide the AI in the right direction.

✅

Mix and match image uploads and AI-generated images to explore different directions and styles.

This update makes the Similar Image feature more powerful, more flexible, and much more personal, especially when working with existing visual styles or brand assets.

Bring more clarity and control to your storyboards with strikethrough and coloured text, now available across Boords!

Use colour to emphasise key points or distinguish text, and strikethrough to show what’s been revised or removed.

✅ Strikethrough formatting


✅ Text colours and background highlights


✅ Available in the frame editor, comments, and more


✅ Full support in PDF exports


Better formatting means smoother reviews, clearer edits, and fewer misunderstandings. Give it a try for yourself!

You can now update your storyboard’s share settings without leaving presentation mode. This makes it easier to stay in the flow during presentations, reviews, or live calls. No need to jump back to the Edit View!

✅

Quickly copy the sharing link without switching views.

✅

Show or hide frame numbers, labels, icons, image borders, completed frames, and switch between grid or animatic mode, all from the Share panel.

✅

Enable or disable comments, add a passphrase, and choose whether to show the version number, without leaving presentation mode.

Just click the button in the top-right corner of presentation mode (while logged into your account) to access these settings.

It's a small change that makes sharing and presenting more flexible and less disruptive!

No more digging around to find what you need - your storyboards are now just a quick search away!

We've completely redesigned our animatic timeline to give you more control and precision when creating animatics. This update makes timing your storyboard frames easier than ever, helping you produce professional-quality animatics that perfectly match your creative vision.

✅

Now you can directly drag frames in the timeline to adjust their timing. No more switching between different controls

✅

See exact frame durations as you adjust, giving you precise control over your timing.

✅

Previously separate controls for frame images and durations are now combined into one intuitive interface, streamlining your workflow.

Whether you're timing frames to match a voiceover, syncing with a music track, or just fine-tuning the pacing of your storyboard, the enhanced animatic timeline gives you the control you need to create perfect animatics every time.

This feature is available now to all Boords users. Open the animatic view in any of your storyboards to start using it!

We've just launched two powerful enhancements to our PDF export options that give you more control over your storyboard presentations.

You can now fine-tune the size of your storyboard images in exported PDFs using the new "Image size" percentage slider (shown in the export dialog above). This gives you the perfect balance between visuals and text, especially when space is at a premium.

Need to add hand-drawn elements to your storyboards? We've added a new "Use placeholder for empty frames" option (visible in the Frame settings section of the export dialog) to export empty frames as clean white spaces, perfect for printing and manual sketching.

These features are now available on all plans.
