Waarom zou je deze gids vertrouwen?
I have used XTiles for eight months as my daily planner and workspace.
Every step here comes from real hands on use, not vendor screenshots.

XTiles is a visual project management tool for people who plan in pictures.
Most users stop at a basic to do list and miss the rest of the productivity toolkit.
This guide shows you how to use xTiles feature by feature.
Stap voor stap, met screenshots en professionele tips.
XTiles Tutorial
This How to use xTiles tutorial walks through every feature, from your first page to advanced linking.

Xtiles
Plan your work and life on one visual canvas. XTiles mixes notes, tasks, and a vision board in a single page. Start free, no credit card needed.
Aan de slag met XTiles
Finish this one time setup before touching any feature.
Het duurt ongeveer drie minuten.
Here is how the workspace looked when I first set mine up:

Laten we nu elke stap eens doornemen.
Stap 1: Maak uw account aan
Go to the XTiles website and click Sign Up.
Enter your email and pick a password.
✓ Controlepunt: A confirmation email lands in your inbox.
Step 2: Open the App on Your Device
Use it in the browser on a computer, or install the iOS and Android app.
Sign in with the account you just made.
Here is what the dashboard gives you:

✓ Controlepunt: You can see the sidebar with Workspaces and Projects.
Step 3: Build Your First Workspace
Create a workspace named Work or Personal.
Add one project inside it, then add a page for this week’s plan.
✅ Klaar: Je bent klaar om een van de onderstaande functies te gebruiken.
How to Use XTiles Visual Organizer
Visuele organisatie lets you lay out notes, tasks, and links side by side on one visual page.
Arrange notes, tasks, and links on a flexible canvas instead of one long document.
Hieronder leggen we stap voor stap uit hoe je het gebruikt.
Step 1: Open a Blank Page
Click New Page inside any workspace.
Give the page a name that matches the area of life you are planning.
Step 2: Drop In Your First Tiles
Drag a text block, a to do list, and an image onto the canvas.
Zo ziet het eruit:
✓ Controlepunt: Two or three tiles sitting in columns, not stacked in one column.
Step 3: Arrange the Layout
Drag tiles side by side until the page reads the way you think.
✅ Resultaat: A visual page that shows tasks, ideas, and resources at a glance.
💡 Pro-tip: Keep four tiles per row on a computer. Anything tighter gets hard to read on mobile.
How to Use XTiles Freelancer Dashboard
Freelancer Dashboard lets you track clients, deadlines, and invoices from one workspace.
Run every client project from a single dashboard instead of five scattered apps.
Hieronder leggen we stap voor stap uit hoe je het gebruikt.
Step 1: Create a Work Workspace
Workspaces cover high level areas like Work and Personal.
Each client then becomes a project inside that workspace.
Step 2: Add Client Tiles
Add one tile per client with scope, rates, and next deliverable.
Zo ziet het eruit:

✓ Controlepunt: One dashboard page listing every active client and their status.
Step 3: Add a Money Tracker
Drop a table tile for invoices sent, paid, and overdue.
✅ Resultaat: A freelance command center that answers what is due this week.
💡 Pro-tip: Pin the dashboard to your sidebar. It becomes the first page you open each morning.
How to Use XTiles Student Workspace
Studentenwerkruimte lets you keep lectures, deadlines, and revision notes in one place.
Handle university tasks, readings, and exam prep without losing a single deadline.
Hieronder leggen we stap voor stap uit hoe je het gebruikt.
Step 1: Create One Project Per Course
Name each project after the course code.
Every project behaves like a digital notebook for that subject.
Step 2: Add a Deadline Tile
Add a to do list tile with due dates for essays and labs.
Zo ziet het eruit:

✓ Controlepunt: A course page holding notes, deadlines, and reading files together.
Step 3: Attach Readings and Resources
Embed PDFs, slides, and links inside the same course page.
✅ Resultaat: Every class organized so revision week stops feeling like a scavenger hunt.
💡 Pro-tip: Add a weekly review tile. Ten minutes on Sunday keeps the whole term on track.
How to Use XTiles Marketing Agency Workspace
Werkruimte voor marketingbureaus lets you plan campaigns, briefs, and content calendars with your team.
Give a small agency team one shared space for briefs, assets, and approvals.
Hieronder leggen we stap voor stap uit hoe je het gebruikt.
Step 1: Set Up a Campaign Project
Create a project for each client campaign.
Step 2: Build a Content Calendar
Add a Collection and switch it to Board View by status.
Cards move from idea to draft to published as work progresses.
Zo ziet het eruit:

✓ Controlepunt: A board where every piece of content sits in a clear status column.
Step 3: Invite the Team
Share the workspace and set edit or view access per member.
✅ Resultaat: A shared workflow your team can follow without a single status ontmoeting.
💡 Pro-tip: Use Block Level Comments on individual blocks. Feedback lands on the exact line it concerns.
How to Use XTiles Project Planner
Projectplanner lets you break big projects into phases, tasks, and owners.
Turn a vague goal into dated phases with owners attached to every task.
Hieronder leggen we stap voor stap uit hoe je het gebruikt.
Step 1: Start From the Planner Template
Pick a project management template from the gallery.
Step 2: Split Work Into Phases
Create one tile per phase and list its tasks inside.
Convert plain text blocks into tasks with a single click.
Zo ziet het eruit:

✓ Controlepunt: A plan page showing phases, owners, and dates in one view.
Step 3: Set Dates and Owners
Add due dates, assignees, and recurring tasks where needed.
✅ Resultaat: A project plan you can actually maintain after week one.
💡 Pro-tip: Apply the Eisenhower Matrix inside the planner. Urgent and important work stops competing for attention.
How to Use XTiles Popular Templates
Populaire sjablonen lets you start from a ready made planner instead of a blank page.
Skip setup time with prebuilt planners, trackers, and knowledge bases.
Hieronder leggen we stap voor stap uit hoe je het gebruikt.
Stap 1: Open de sjabloongalerij
Click Templates in the left sidebar.
Step 2: Preview Before You Add
Open the Daily Planner or Second Brain template and scan its structure.
The Second Brain template suits multi level data tracking.
Zo ziet het eruit:

✓ Controlepunt: A copied template sitting in your workspace, ready to edit.
Step 3: Duplicate and Edit
Add the template, then rename tiles to match your own workflow.
✅ Resultaat: A working planner in minutes rather than an evening of setup.
💡 Pro-tip: Save your finished layout as a template. You can reuse it or sell it later.
How to Use XTiles Content Blocks
Inhoudsblokken (tegels) lets you mix text, tasks, embeds, and images inside one tile.
Blocks are the building units behind every page in this tool.
Hieronder leggen we stap voor stap uit hoe je het gebruikt.
Step 1: Type Slash to Add a Block
Press / anywhere on the page to open the block menu.
Step 2: Convert Text Into Tasks
Turn any text block into a checkbox task with due dates.
✓ Controlepunt: A tile holding a heading, a checklist, and an embedded link.
Step 3: Group Blocks Into a Tile
Drag related blocks together so they move as one unit.
✅ Resultaat: Pages built from reusable parts instead of rigid document formatting.
💡 Pro-tip: Use the Inbox for quick capture. Process those blocks into the right project later.
How to Use XTiles Nested Documents
Geneste documenten lets you hide detail inside child pages so top pages stay clean.
Nesting keeps deep detail available without cluttering your main view.
Hieronder leggen we stap voor stap uit hoe je het gebruikt.
Step 1: Create a Child Page
Add a subpage block inside any parent page.
Step 2: Move Detail Down a Level
Push notulen van de vergadering and raw research into the child page.
✓ Controlepunt: A parent page showing summaries with detail one click away.
Step 3: Use Breadcrumbs to Navigate
Click the trail at the top to jump back up.
✅ Resultaat: A tidy hierarchy that scales as your projects and pages grow.
💡 Pro-tip: Cap nesting at three levels. Deeper trees get hard to navigate on a phone.
How to Use XTiles Bi-directional Linker
Bidirectionele koppeling lets you connect related pages so context follows you everywhere.
Links work both ways, so related notes surface without manual filing.
Hieronder leggen we stap voor stap uit hoe je het gebruikt.
Step 1: Mention a Page With @
Type @ and select the page you want to reference.
Step 2: Check the Backlinks
Open the linked page and view its incoming references.
✓ Controlepunt: Two pages linking to each other without duplicated text.
Step 3: Reuse Blocks Across Projects
Transclusion shows the same content in several projects at once.
✅ Resultaat: A connected knowledge base where nothing important gets buried.
💡 Pro-tip: Link a project page to its meeting notes. Updates then appear in both places.

XTiles Common Mistakes to Avoid
Mistake #1: Building One Giant Page
❌ Fout: Dumping every task, idea, and note onto a single endless page.
✅ Rechts: Split work into projects, then nest detail inside child pages.
Mistake #2: Skipping Templates
❌ Fout: Starting from a blank canvas and quitting after twenty minutes.
✅ Rechts: Copy the Daily Planner template and edit it to fit your life.
Mistake #3: Treating It Only as a To Do List
❌ Fout: Using it for checkboxes while notes and files stay in other apps.
✅ Rechts: Keep tasks, notes, and resources on the same page for context.
XTiles Troubleshooting
Problem: Tiles Jump Around When You Drag Them
Oorzaak: The page is in a narrow column layout or the browser zoom is off.
Repareren: Reset zoom to 100 percent, widen the page, then drag the tile by its handle.
Problem: Mobile Edits Are Not Showing on Desktop
Oorzaak: The app lost its connection while you were offline.
Repareren: Pull to refresh, confirm you are signed into the same account, then reopen the project.
Problem: Shared Pages Open Empty for Teammates
Oorzaak: You shared a page but not the workspace holding its nested documents.
Repareren: Share at workspace level and set each member to edit or view access.
📌 Opmerking: If none of these help, contact XTiles support from the sidebar.
