Working with pages in Whiteboard mode

Whiteboard files consist of one or more pages. You can create, rearrange, and delete pages. You can also display pages in different views and pan and zoom pages if you’re using Unbound Workspace.

You can use the Page Sorter to add pages to your Whiteboard file. You can add a blank page or create a duplicate (or clone) of an existing page.

Note 

When you create a Whiteboard file in SMART Meeting Pro software room license, the software inserts one page in the file for each display connected to the room computer.
