IT Home News on June 1, technology media AppleInsider released a blog post today, saying that Apple will launch a new navigation function of "Scenes" for the "Freeform" app extension in iOS 18 system, and add new options for object alignment.

Introduction to the Freeform app

IT Home will first give a brief introduction to the Freeform app, which was launched in 2022 and is currently available for iOS, iPadOS, macOS 15, and visionOS.

Apple's official introduction is as follows:

Freeform is a great tool for bringing inspiration to life. Sketch a project, design a mood board, or start brainstorming on a flexible canvas that supports almost any file type. With iCloud, all your boards stay in sync across your Mac, iPad, or iPhone.

Scenes 功能

Next, let's introduce the new "Scenes" feature, which allows users to select specific passages, tag them with "Scenes" and name them as they want.

Users can quickly return to the marked paragraph when reading other content later, and support multi-person collaborative editing and other operations. The news says that the "Scenes" feature is iCloud-compatible, which means that flagged passages can be shared in the cloud, making it easier for users to share and edit.

Users can quickly access these markup paragraphs in the app's interface, and can edit, save, export as a PDF file, or print.

The feature is iCloud-compatible, so users can choose to collaborate with or show scenes to others, create a detailed model of the in-app user interface, explain what the feature does, and then invite others to collaborate.

Freeform Scenes will greatly simplify the management of complex projects and large boards. Streamlining the navigation process will improve the creative flow while minimizing distractions and distractions, allowing users to maintain a chain of thought.

In the pre-release version of Apple's operating system, Freeform Scenes' user interface was located at the bottom left of the application window, next to the zoom controls.

The new user interface can be toggled by tapping or clicking on the new sandwich bar icon. This will provide the user with basic navigation controls in the form of two arrows with a square icon between the two arrows.

Click the square icon to reveal additional options for saving, exporting, and navigating between Scenes. When you first open it, the new user interface element displays a brief description of the Scenes feature to explain its overall purpose and functionality.

Apple has also developed the following keyboard shortcuts for the Scenes user interface, and IT Home attaches a list as follows:

保存：Shift + Command + S

下一个 Scenes： Option + Command + ]

上一 Scenes： Option + Command + [

Snap to the grid

Apple's macOS 15 Freeform app will introduce the Snap To Grid feature, which adjusts the position and alignment of objects based on existing networks, allowing users to align objects and elements with precision.
