Inside the “Create a Board” window, you have the option of naming, categorizing and publishing your board

The “Add a map” section allows users to pin items to their board with a map of the location highlighted in the pin

The “Keep it secret” tab allows users to keep their board hidden from all users, just friends, or save it as a private board

Once you have filled out each section, click on “create board” to start pinning
