Whiteboard Tools
The whiteboard toolbar on the right side of the presentation area allows you to annotate slides or draw on a blank whiteboard. It is available to the presenter and, when multi-user mode is enabled, to all participants.
Available Tools
| Tool | Function |
|---|---|
| Pointer / Select | Select and move elements on the whiteboard. |
| Hand (Pan) | Move the visible section when zoomed in. |
| Pen | Freehand drawing on the slide or whiteboard. |
| Eraser | Remove annotations from the whiteboard. |
| Shapes | Insert geometric shapes (rectangle, ellipse, triangle, etc.). |
| Arrow | Draw arrows on the whiteboard. |
| Text | Add text via keyboard input. |
| Sticky Notes | Add editable note cards to the whiteboard. |
Use the separate whiteboard menu button above the toolbar to change colors, line thickness, and font size for your drawing tools.
Style Options
- Color — choose from a color palette for pen, shapes, and text.
- Line thickness — select thin, medium, or thick strokes.
- Font size — adjust the size for text fields and sticky notes.
Undo, Redo, and Clear
Undo — click the undo button at the top of the presentation to reverse your last action.
Redo — click the redo button to restore an action you previously undone.
Clear annotations — use the trash icon in the presentation menu at the top to delete all whiteboard content on the current slide.
Exporting a Slide as Screenshot
You can download the current slide including all annotations as a PNG image:
Click the download button at the top right of the whiteboard (next to the fullscreen button).
Select Download current slide to save the slide and all annotations as a PNG file.
Touchscreen and Palm Rejection
If you are using a tablet with a stylus, you can enable palm rejection to prevent accidental strokes when resting your hand on the screen. This is especially useful for stylus-based input on touchscreen devices.
Use the whiteboard for interactive exercises — for example, have participants mark locations on a map, collaboratively develop diagrams, or brainstorm ideas using sticky notes.
Whiteboard annotations are lost when you navigate to a different slide. Export your whiteboard content before switching slides if you want to keep it.
