Pavel Jelic One of the huge innovations that Apple has introduced in all the latest operating systems is the Freeform application. Specifically, this application serves as a kind of digital whiteboard where you can not only draw, but also add images, text, documents, files, shapes and much more. The greatest charm of this application is, of course, the possibility of cooperation with other users. In any case, Freeform was not released as part of the first versions of iOS and iPadOS 16 and macOS Ventura, as Apple did not have time to complete it. Specifically, we will see it in the iOS and iPadOS 16.2 updates and in macOS Ventura 13.1, which are already in the beta testing phase and will be released in a few weeks. In the meantime, let's take a look together at 5 tips in Freeform from iPadOS 16.2 that might come in handy in the future.

Invitation via link

However, if you want to invite a stranger who you do not have in your contacts, you can use the invitation via a link - just find it in the list of applications Invite via link. By clicking on the section under the name of the board, you can then manage sharing permissions, etc.

Move an object to the background or foreground

You will definitely sometimes find yourself in a situation where you will have some elements covered, but you would like to place them in the foreground, or, of course, on the contrary, in the background. Of course, this was also taken into account, so if you want to change the order of the layers, go to hold your finger on a specific object or element, and then tap on in the small menu icon of three dots in a circle. Then just click on the option at the top of the menu to the background or To the foreground.
