Microsoft Whiteboard receives new features and UI overhaul
Microsoft Whiteboard fans, good news: MS just delivered a big content drop containing all sorts of goodies for Whiteboard, including a UI overhaul and a bevy of new features.
The visual collaboration tool now features improved functionality to back up its clean aesthetic, meaning it’ll be easier to locate what functions you want when you want them. The mobile layout has also been touched up to ensure you have the maximum amount of screen real estate available to you whenever possible.
The new Whiteboard update also comes jam-packed with over 40 fresh Whiteboard templates optimized for brainstorming, problem-solving, and more. A dozen new note grids and sticky notes are also on offer, featuring new color options with which to liven up your whiteboarding activities.
You can now also react in Whiteboard, in the event you just want to plop a gold star or rainbow on someone’s content to communicate that they’re doing a good job.
But that’s not all. “When inking on the new Surface Pro 8 or Surface Studio laptop running Windows 11, with the new Surface Slim Pen 2, you can now feel slight vibrations that make writing and drawing feel more realistic,” Microsoft says in its blog post announcing the Whiteboard updates. “Pens, highlighters, and laser pointers will all have a unique continuous vibration as you move your pen across the canvas, giving you a more natural inking experience.”
If you want an app to test out the haptics on your new Surface Slim Pen 2, you know where to go.
