The Whiteboard pane

Open with open a whiteboard. It’s a clean sketch surface in a window: pen strokes and shapes, color options, all persisted with the workspace so the diagram is still there tomorrow. It opens filling the working area — a drawing surface is only useful big — clear of the top bar, left rail and command bar. Resize or move it like any window; ask for it at a specific size, or drop it somewhere, and it honors that instead.

Using it

1. Pick the pen for freehand strokes or a shape tool for boxes/ellipses/lines.
2. Choose a color; draw.
3. Everything saves automatically with the pane — move it, resize it, minimize it like any window.

Annotate an image

Say annotate this image (or “mark up the screenshot”) and the newest image on your canvas opens as the whiteboard’s base layer — then draw arrows, circle problems, and drop text notes right on top of it. The marked-up board saves with the pane like any other, so your annotations are still there tomorrow.

Good to know

• The training game’s creative steps happen here: draw a squiggle, then drag out a shape.
• Whiteboard content belongs to that pane — several whiteboards can hold several diagrams side by side.
• To annotate over your windows instead, use canvas drawing.
