# Strategy Hub: Thoughts Module ## **Strategy Hub: Thoughts Module** **[![Screenshot 2026-05-20 141803.png](https://library.buildrunkit.com/uploads/images/gallery/2026-05/scaled-1680-/screenshot-2026-05-20-141803.png)](https://library.buildrunkit.com/uploads/images/gallery/2026-05/screenshot-2026-05-20-141803.png)** The Thoughts module within the Strategy Hub functions as a digital canvas or whiteboard, allowing you to visually map out brainstorming sessions, strategy links, and project ideas using interactive shapes. ### Managing Thoughts Boards When you enter the Thoughts module, you are presented with a global directory of your active brainstorming and strategy environments: - Creating a Whiteboard: Click the blue + New Whiteboard button at the top right to start a fresh visual planning environment. - Board Directory View: Track active design spaces along with their last relative modification date under the Updated At column. - Filtering & Columns: Use the top text bars to search specific whiteboard names. Use the Columns dropdown tool to show or hide parameters like Name, Updated\_at, or Actions. - Board Context Menu: Clicking the three dots icon (`...`) on the right side of any individual board row opens control configurations to View, Rename, or Delete that whiteboard. ### Inside a Thoughts Board [![Screenshot 2026-05-20 141837.png](https://library.buildrunkit.com/uploads/images/gallery/2026-05/scaled-1680-/screenshot-2026-05-20-141837.png)](https://library.buildrunkit.com/uploads/images/gallery/2026-05/screenshot-2026-05-20-141837.png) [![Screenshot 2026-05-20 141911.png](https://library.buildrunkit.com/uploads/images/gallery/2026-05/scaled-1680-/screenshot-2026-05-20-141911.png)](https://library.buildrunkit.com/uploads/images/gallery/2026-05/screenshot-2026-05-20-141911.png) When you select and open an individual whiteboard from your directory, you enter an interactive grid canvas workspace where you can sketch, label, and manipulate shapes. ### Canvas Layout & Header Controls The top header of the whiteboard area contains configuration data, canvas actions, and canvas statistics:
- Breadcrumb Navigation: The top left displays the active path, showing Thought boards followed by an arrow pointing to your currently opened board name (e.g., *Full System Check Thought Board*). - Quick Switch Dropdown: Clicking the small up and down arrow icon directly next to "Thought boards" pulls up a quick menu to toggle between your saved boards or click + Create new board without returning to the main directory. - Canvas Settings & Zoom Toolbar: Located at the top right of the canvas, this bar gives you layout controls: - Zoom Controls: Use the zoom-out (`minus`), percentage display (e.g., `100%`), zoom-in (`plus`), and `reset` icons to navigate a dense board. - Export: Click the download arrow icon to save a local copy of your canvas layout. - Clear (Trash Can Icon): A red button that completely wipes all shapes, lines, and data off the current canvas.
### The Canvas Toolbar A horizontal toolbar floats at the top-left section of the grid canvas to let you build out your board:
- Selection Tool (Cursor Icon): The primary blue pointer used to select, drag, or highlight elements on the grid. - Square Shape: Click this icon to drop a customizable square onto the workspace. - Circle Shape: Click this icon to drop a customizable circle onto the workspace. - Connection Arrow: Click this tool to manually draw directional lines connecting your elements. - Text Tool ("T" Icon): Allows you to drop standalone text blocks directly onto the open canvas grid. - Draw Tool (Pencil Icon): Activates freehand drawing or sketching directly on top of the grid space. - Global Canvas Color: Shows a Color circle indicator (e.g., blue) that tracks your currently selected element tint. - Board Statistics: Live counters immediately follow the color wheel to show you the exact total of items placed on the canvas (e.g., `2 cards • 1 arrows • 1 texts`).
### Editing a Shape Modal [![Screenshot 2026-05-20 142022.png](https://library.buildrunkit.com/uploads/images/gallery/2026-05/scaled-1680-/screenshot-2026-05-20-142022.png)](https://library.buildrunkit.com/uploads/images/gallery/2026-05/screenshot-2026-05-20-142022.png) When you click the three dots menu (`...`) on a shape and choose to edit it, a modal pop-up window appears in the center of the screen with the following configuration fields: - Modal Title: Displays the name of the shape type (e.g., Circle) at the top left. - Title Field: A text input box where you can type or change the main title text displayed on the shape. - Description Field: A larger text area box labeled Description to add detailed notes or context inside the shape properties. - Color Selection: A row of interactive circular color buttons that allows you to click and choose the color styling for the shape. - Action Buttons: Two options sit at the bottom right corner of the window to finalize your changes: - Cancel: Closes the modal without saving any modifications. - Update: Saves your text and color changes directly to the canvas element. ### Editing Canvas Text Blocks [![Screenshot 2026-05-20 142641.png](https://library.buildrunkit.com/uploads/images/gallery/2026-05/scaled-1680-/screenshot-2026-05-20-142641.png)](https://library.buildrunkit.com/uploads/images/gallery/2026-05/screenshot-2026-05-20-142641.png) When managing a standalone text element on the canvas, the properties window changes to a streamlined Edit Text modal with specific sizing attributes: - Text: A multi-line editing box where you input the literal message displayed on the canvas grid. - Font Size: A numerical box where you manually type or change the font scaling size directly (e.g., *15*). Note: There is no font-family picker layout; styling changes are strictly adjusted by size. - Color: A color indicator box showing the current color assigned to the text layer. - Form Submissions: - Cancel: Standard link text button to abandon changes. - Save: A blue button to lock in your text edits and font scaling parameters.
