How to use the Pinterest board toolbar

You might have a better way of arranging your pins rather than chronologically - like by color or cost, for example.

Now, rather than your pins remaining stuck in the order you pinned them, you can rearrange them to your preferences.

To create a to-do list, navigate to the board, then select "Notes."

On iOS devices, you won't see a "Notes" option, but instead, a "Note to self." You can tap that, or tap the "+" icon then "Note" to create your note.

Finally, once you're in your note, tap the checkbox icon to create a to-do list.

The 'More ideas' feature helps you find more pins

Finally, the Pinterest board toolbar ensures you're never short of inspiration by finding related pins for you with "More ideas."

To see the "More ideas" feature, navigate to the board where you're seeking some extra inspiration.
