All digiboard handling can be found in the "File Menu", so if you wish to "Create New DigiBoard", "New Digiboard", "Save Digiboard".

The "Open DigiBoard" option will prompt you to select a digiboard to open, unless you have made some changes to the board or working on a digiboard, then you will be prompted to save your changes or not.
The save option allows you to select if you want to quick save or if you want to select a directory to save to. If you have not saved before you will automatically be prompted to select a directory to save to.
The Timeline View is a feature that allows you to see all of the dates where the models have been moved or created on the board. If you then select one of those dates, you will then see the model's position on the board on that date.
The Timeline feature will give you an overview of the evolution of your different business models, visually making it easier to work with your business models.
While in timeline view a model will move when you press a new date if you have moved it around on the board.You cannot interact with the models while in timeline view, the only option is to select a model and use the "Show Model" action.
You can only access the different view modes if you have opened a digiboard from the "File Menu".
The Timeline also gives you the option to restore your digiboard from an earlier date by right clicking a date on the "Timeline menu", right click and choose "Restore To This Date"
The History view is a feature that allows you to see the content changes of your models, by clicking a change in the history view a list of changes will appear beneath it, and when you click one of those changes, you will be able to see what sort of changes have been made to the business model.
The history view do not show the visual changes like the timeline view, but only changes to the content of the business model that you chose.
Just like in the timeline view you are able to restore your model's content to a previous date if you wish to, you just have to right click on the change in the history, then you will get the options to show the model's content or to restore the model to the selected date change.
When you are in the history view all changes will be shown and sorted by date of changes. When you move your models those changes will stored in timeline and are not available in history view

Adding collaborators to your digiboards is quite easy. In the "File Menu" you will find "Collaborators".
When adding collaborators you will have to set their permissions of use for your digiboard, which means what sort of rights everyone with access to the digiboard will have. By setting the permission to Viewer everyone with access will have the right to see what your digiboard contains, but will not be able to alter any data. By setting the permission to Editor everyone with access to the digiboard will be able to change models in the digiboard. And finally if you choose Administrator, everyone will have the exact same rights as the owner and make full use of all features in the application.
The collaborators are specified by adding an email of the user that you want to give specific access rights to the digiboard and click add. When adding collaborators they are added to the list above, where collaborators are listed. You will also be able to change or remove a specific email from the access rights list, by choosing permission type on a collaborator or clicking on the delete collaborator on the right.
Additional info: When creating a new digiboard you automatically become owner and will have Administrator permission.

As a part of the online features we have implemented an "Online Indicator", that shows if the digiboard is currently connected to the DigiServer or not. If the digiboard is connected it will flash green and show "Online", if it is not connectedit will flash red and show "Offline". While the indicator shows offline some menu options will be disabled and collaboration will not work until there has been established a connection.
