How to Use Opera's Pinboard

Using Opera's Pinboard is a straightforward process. Here's a quick guide on how to create and manage your Pinboards:

  1. Access Pinboards: Look for a small thumbtack icon in the left sidebar of your Opera Browser. Clicking on this icon will lead you to the Pinboards feature.
  2. Create a New Pinboard: Click on "New Pinboard" in the top left corner of the window to create your pinboard.
  3. Name Your Pinboard: At the top of your new Pinboard, click the default name and type a new name for your Pinboard.

Customizing Your Pinboard

Opera's Pinboard allows you to personalize the appearance of your board. By clicking on the "Appearance" button at the top right of the window, you can change the layout of your Pinboard and even upload an image to serve as the background for your Pinboard. From user experiences, the default layout seems to be the easiest to use, but you can experiment and see what works best for you.


Sharing Your Pinboard

Sharing a Pinboard is easy. Simply click the "Share" button in the top right of the window and enable "Share pinboard with a link". Once the Pinboard has been uploaded, you will be presented with a shareable link that you can send via email, messaging, or any other way you prefer to share information. Do remember, however, that sharing is limited to the board itself; you cannot share individual items. So, ensure there are no items in your Pinboard that contain sensitive information.
