    Your whiteboard is saved to the cloud so you can access it on all of your devices.
  • Question
    How can you change the font in the text box?
    Aasim
    Top Answerer
    Unfortunately, you cannot change the font from the handwriting font. Use OneNote for features like that.
  • Question
    Can I print the whiteboard?
    Aasim
    Top Answerer
    You can do that by saving the whiteboard as an image (see that in whiteboard options) and then printing the image.
  • Question
    How can I share a whiteboard between 2 accounts, 1 work 1 non-work?
    Aasim
    Top Answerer
    You can use the same link to access the same whiteboard, though your organisation might have set policies that prevent that.
  • Question
    How do you save a whiteboard?
    Aasim
    Top Answerer
    Your whiteboard automatically saves to the cloud, but you can export an image by clicking on the menu button and choosing "Save image (PNG)" or "Save image (SVG)".
  • Question
    Do you need a touchscreen?
    Aasim
    Top Answerer
    No, but you can use a mouse and keyboard as well as a touchscreen in the Whiteboard app.
  • Question
    How can I activate a smaller eraser than the default?
    Aasim
    Top Answerer
    If you move your cursor or stylus slower in eraser mode, the eraser will come out to be smaller. The other way to more precisely "erase" is to use the lasso select to select the text you want to delete and then press the delete key.
  • Question
    How do you prevent anyone else writing on the whiteboard which is being shared?
    Aasim
    Top Answerer
    Privately shared whiteboards are only a feature that Microsoft 365 for Business and Microsoft 365 for Education users get to use. The easy way to prevent anyone else writing on the whiteboard is by only sharing the whiteboard link with someone you trust or by not sharing the board at all.
  • Question
    Can I teach students online using Microsoft Whiteboard?
    Aasim
    Top Answerer
    Yes. If you share the link, then students will also be able to mark up the board. You can also have it so that only certain people can mark the board, but that requires a Microsoft 365 for Business or Education account.
  • Question
    Can I adjust the angle of the ruler from 45 degrees?
    Aasim
    Top Answerer
    You can scroll over the ruler to change the ruler angle, or you can move and rotate using two fingers over the ruler.
  • Question
    Can I copy a sketch I did in OneNote and paste it into Whiteboard - and vice versa?
    Aasim
    Top Answerer
    You should be able to copy ink between Whiteboard and OneNote (and other inking apps). Select the ink and press Ctrl-C. Then go to your other app and press Ctrl-V.
