## Description

Microsoft Whiteboard provides a cloud-based, freeform canvas where individuals and teams can ideate, create, and collaborate in real time. It supports touch, pen, and keyboard, with ink that becomes shapes, the ability to add sticky notes or a notes grid, and real-time multi-user editing across devices. Reactions let teammates give quick feedback, and everything stays saved in the cloud for seamless resumption.

New features focus on performance and a modern UI, including a creation gallery, 40+ templates, and an expanded shapes and lines library. Apple Scribble on iPad with Apple Pencil converts ink to text, and ink arrows aid diagramming. Across devices, teams stay on the same page with automatic saving and real-time collaboration.
