Yes, drag and drop works great. I was just saying that it’s not (yet) available as an option in the share menu.

I have been testing it and the two major complains I have (considering it’s the first beta) are that it’s not possibile to share items to it, but only to import them from within the app, and that the writing tools are different from the ones in the Notes app (which has more options).

I’m looking forward at using it for research and brainstorming. I’ve been using a few apps to do the same but having a native option with the iPad first in mind could be a game changer.

Comparing it to other apps:

Miro and FigJam are built with desktop in mind and then adapted for iPadOS, drawing on them is often not smooth and their integration with the OS is not great.
Concepts is great but almost too much. I don’t want to waste time selecting colours, tools, etc. Also, not available on Mac.
Muse is almost perfect for what I do but some gestures annoy the hell out of me (no zoom options, weird drag and dropping). Also, boards are not viewable on iOS.
