How the editor works, how to share a plan, and how to keep it.

Editor basics

Map: Choose a game and map, or start a blank strategy and upload a picture of your map, court, or pitch. Use levels for separate floors.
Players: Open Icons and drag players and markers onto the board. Pick a drawing tool for movement paths, areas, and notes.
Stages: A stage is one step of a plan. Move players in each stage, then add a stage for the next step.
Playback: Press play to watch the plan run stage by stage.
Shortcuts: Open Help in the bottom-right corner of the board for keyboard shortcuts and the editor tour. On a phone, open More tools.

Live rooms: Open Share strategy and start a room, then send the invite link. Choose whether people with the link can view or edit. The invitation expires five minutes after you leave.
Links: Save the strategy to make named view or edit links that you can turn off one at a time. Someone with a room code can enter it on the Join a session page.
Embeds: Publish a strategy, then use Embed on its page to get a link and code for your own site.
Export: Export a PNG image, or a GIF or MP4 of the stages you pick. Where your browser allows it, copy the image or share the file.
Plan limits: What each plan includes is on the pricing page.

Without an account: Your draft stays in this browser for 14 days after your last edit. Drafts in this browser lists the ones you have not saved.
Keeping it: Log in or sign up to keep a strategy in your account. Signing up moves your draft over unchanged. After the first save, edits save on their own to My strategies, where only you can see them until you share or publish.

Why: The board draws with WebGL, the browser's graphics feature. When a browser turns it off, the editor and strategy previews cannot appear. Your saved strategies and drafts are not affected.
Chrome: Open Settings, then System, turn on Use graphics acceleration when available, and relaunch. If the board is still blank, enter chrome://gpu in the address bar and check that WebGL reads Hardware accelerated.
Edge: Open Settings, then System and performance, turn on Use graphics acceleration when available, and restart Edge. edge://gpu shows whether WebGL is on.
Firefox: Open Settings, then General. Under Performance, clear Use recommended performance settings, tick Use hardware acceleration when available, and restart. If it is still blank, enter about:config and check that webgl.disabled is false.
Safari: Update Safari and macOS or iOS. Lockdown Mode blocks the graphics the board needs, so turn it off for this site.
Still blank: Update your graphics drivers and operating system, then restart the browser. Work and school computers sometimes block graphics, so ask whoever manages yours. Try another browser, or tell us which browser and device you use.
