How do I link from one board to another in CoughDrop?

Multiple communication boards can be connected to allow for deeper, richer vocabulary sets for users. Users can make copies of or personalize communication boards they find and connect boards from different authors together, or create their own sub-boards.

Open button settings

 

To link one board to another, enter Edit Mode for the board on which you'd like to add a link. Find the button you'd like to modify and tap it to open the button settings window.

 

Find or create a linked board

 

You'll now see a text box that lets you either find an existing board or create a brand new one.  Be sure to adjust the search options to search "my boards" for a board owned by your account or public boards if you are looking for a publicly shared board owned by another CoughDrop user.

You can also hit "New" instead to create a new board. You will see some very basic settings for configuring the new board. Additional settings will be available once you enter Edit Mode for the newly-created board later.
