My plan to visit Japan is coming along nicely, but I want to start adding in some more rich media so that I can access links to book tickets for things, or listen to music, or find my shopping list document when I get there.

So I’ve opened up Safari here I’ve got a link for the Tokyo Tower website.

All I’m going to do is either Copy and Paste that link or simply Drag-and-Drop it like this and drop it on my Freeform Board.

You’ll notice as soon as I Paste it on my page that it loads a rich preview of that website.

That means it’s a nice big featured image, the website title and URL are all visible.

Of course I can click on it to go back to the website at any time, but it also looks really nice on my Board and it means I can easily access that data in the future.

I can resize it, but at the moment it’s locked the proportions so I can only stretch it diagonally.

No worries! If I Right Click I can untick Constrain Proportions and then I can resize it however I like.

You can embed pretty much anything into a Freeform Board – whether that’s a Pages document, or a Numbers spreadsheet or even a Playlist in Apple Music.

Here there’s a Playlist which perhaps I might like to listen to on the flight.

And if I copy the link to that playlist and then I paste it in Freeform, just like the website, I’ll get a nice rich preview with the cover artwork and more details underneath.

It’s worth exploring just what you can actually put on a Freeform Board because it’s so much more than I expected when I first saw the app.

You really can add a really wide selection of rich content onto your Boards.

In the next video I’ll show you how you can add Annotations, even though you can’t use your touchscreen on a Mac.

So join me there in a second and I’ll show you a really cool trick.
