Whiteboard

The Whiteboard feature provides a collaborative visual workspace where you and your team can sketch ideas, create diagrams, and brainstorm — with AI assistance available on demand.

Accessing Whiteboards

Click Home → Whiteboard in the top navigation.

Creating a Whiteboard

1. Click New Whiteboard
2. Give it a name
3. Begin adding content — shapes, text, connectors, and freehand drawing

Collaborating on a Whiteboard

Whiteboards support multiple participants. To invite someone to a whiteboard:

1. Open the whiteboard
2. Click Invite Participants
3. Enter the user's name or email address

All participants can view and edit the whiteboard in real time. Changes are visible to everyone immediately.

Diagram Support

Whiteboards support Mermaid diagrams — a text-based diagramming language that you can write directly or ask the agent to generate for you. For example, ask the agent:

"Draw a flowchart for our user registration process"

The agent will produce Mermaid syntax that renders as a diagram in the whiteboard or in the chat view.

Fork, Import & Export

Whiteboards support several ways to reuse and share content:

• Fork – create an independent copy of a whiteboard that you can modify without affecting the original. Useful for exploring alternative designs or branching a shared diagram.
• Export – download a whiteboard as a JSON file for backup, sharing outside Ariadne, or version control.
• Import – load a previously exported whiteboard JSON file to restore it or bring in a diagram from another source.

Managing Whiteboards

• Rename – click the whiteboard title to edit it
• Delete – use the ⋮ menu → Delete
• Duplicate – create a copy of an existing whiteboard as a starting point

Use Cases

• Architecture diagrams – sketch system designs and have the agent review or suggest improvements
• Meeting facilitation – capture ideas and structure discussions visually
• Mind mapping – explore topic relationships collaboratively
• Process flows – document business processes with flowcharts
