I usually draw a lot of whiteboard (Apple Freeform) on my iPad or iphone and would like to convert these into lucid for formal documentation.

I believe my use case is quite simple and common. I frequently use my iPad and pencil to quickly brainstorm and explain concepts to both my internal team and external people. The iPad and pencil combination works wonders for me because I can attend meetings from my iPad instead of my MacBook and quickly use notes or freeform apps to sketch out ideas. Visual communication is always more effective than just talking, but I don't have the time to create a Lucid chart. Creating something freeform with the pencilnatural. It's li is much faster, more efficient,ke I'm using a w and feels very hiteboard in the office.
 

Once I am finished with it on the iPad and if it turns out to be a useful picture (not everything I sketch is useful, mostly just rubbish :P), I would like to convert it into a Lucid chart. This is because Lucid is our main repository for visual documentation and other team members can collaborate and build upon it further.

@lucid please add this functionality!
