Templates

Templates jumpstart common formats. Open the Templates panel, pick one, drop it onto a board. Every shape, sticky, label, and frame the format needs lands in place.

The library

MindWeaveBoard ships with a curated set of templates across eight categories:

• Brainstorming — affinity mapping, idea generation, mind-mapping, crazy 8s, "How might we", lotus blossom.
• Strategy — SWOT, Porter's Five Forces, business model canvas, value-proposition canvas, OKRs, North Star.
• Agile — sprint planning, retrospectives, story mapping.
• Design — empathy map, journey map, wireframe kit.
• Product management — RICE prioritisation, roadmap, feature spec.
• Technology — system architecture, sequence diagram, dependency graph.
• Finance — budget plan, P&L summary.
• Healthcare — patient journey, care pathway.

Applying a template

1. From a board, open the Templates panel (or press Cmd/Ctrl + Shift + T).
2. Filter by category or search by name.
3. Click the template — it drops onto the canvas. You can position it anywhere; existing content on the board is left untouched.

The template lands as a self-contained group inside a frame. Everything is editable — change labels, recolour shapes, add or remove items.

Custom templates

On Advanced and Enterprise plans you can save any board as a template for your organisation. From the board menu, choose Save as template, give it a name and category, and it appears in the panel for everyone in your organisation.

TIP

Custom templates are scoped to your organisation. They're not shared with guests or other organisations.

Editing or removing a template

From the Templates panel, custom templates have a ⋯ menu. Org Admins can rename them, recategorise them, or delete them. The built-in templates that ship with MindWeaveBoard cannot be edited or removed — they're always available as a starting point.

Building good templates

A few patterns that tend to land well:

• Label every section — a template without labels looks like clutter on a fresh board.
• Use frames — they keep the structure intact when teammates move things around.
• Pre-pick sticky colours — saves the first ten minutes of "what colour means what?" debate.
• Add an instructions sticky — one sticky in the corner with three bullet points on how to use the template saves a lot of explaining.
