View All Your Whiteboards in One Place

TL;DR

The Whiteboards page gives you a central place to find, open, and manage all whiteboards you have access to. Use the Recent and Shared with me tabs to quickly return to boards without searching through your workspace. You can also create new whiteboards, change their location, or detach them from Wrike entirely - though detached whiteboards aren't deleted and can still be found in Klaxoon.

Overview

The Whiteboards page lets you find and reopen Whiteboards you can access, no matter which space, folder, or project they’re in. Use it to jump back into recent brainstorming sessions without searching through the hierarchy.

Example: You joined three brainstorming sessions last week across different projects. Instead of opening each project to find your notes, you click Whiteboards in the main menu and see a list of your recently viewed boards so you can get straight back to collaboration.

If you’re a Regular user with a Klaxoon Pro license, you get a personal welcome whiteboard automatically. Instead of an empty Whiteboard Hub, you’ll see a private whiteboard that only you can access.

This welcome whiteboard helps you start fast. It explains what whiteboards are, how you can use them in your work, and how to use them in Wrike. It is designed to help users onboard and make whiteboards easier to find. Learn how to get started with whiteboards.
