- **List card**: A card with some items in a list.
- **Region**: Use regions to identify sections of the canvas.
- **Relationship**: Drag the endpoints of the relationship tool to attach it to two cards and relate them.
- **Attributes**: Categorize and filter cards in this map by metadata.
- **Waypoints**: Present your ideas in a walk-through of your map.

### Updates
