Who can create boards on Air?

πŸ‘¨β€πŸ‘©β€πŸ‘§β€πŸ‘¦ Supported on any Air plan

✏️ Anyone that has edit access to a workspace, library, or board

If you're eager to streamline your content organization and asset management, setting up a board is a great starting point. Boards serve as a versatile platform for collecting and organizing your assets with efficiency and ease. With the ability to create and host assets across multiple boards without duplicating them, Air elevates your organizational workflow. Let's dive into the process of creating boards.

Once you are logged into your Air workspace, you can start making boards with ease.

πŸͺ„ Added folders to your workspace instead of individual files?
​
Air automatically adopts your folder structure and makes boards that are named the same as their corresponding folders. Keep your old structure handy to reference or wipe them all out to make new boards. You call the shots!

Boards are just the beginning of all the amazing ways you'll start to leverage Air's metadata. If you and your team are new to Air, boards can be a nice stepping stone to going from organizing with boards to unlocking the magic of creative asset management on Air. Create a top level board for each department, each project, or each client that you work with.
