You can embed a whiteboard directly into a note to add diagrams, sketches, and other visuals alongside text. Add a new whiteboard to start from scratch, or add an existing whiteboard — so you can use the same whiteboard in multiple locations and keep the content in sync in every place it appears.

Use Elle to create a whiteboard from a note
A document does not always show how each step connects when you are planning a new experience. Elle can turn the details in a note into a whiteboard — so you can review the flow, discuss options with the team, and refine the experience before work begins.
This is useful when you want to:
Map how users move through a workflow step by step
Show how a proposed solution should work
Review ideas with the team and gather feedback
Spot gaps before you start building
To create a whiteboard from a note:
Open the note you want to use as context.
Click the Elle (AI assistant) icon.
'Describe the whiteboard you want to create. (For example, ask Elle to create a user flow based on the note's details.)
Review the embedded whiteboard and refine it as needed.
Embed a whiteboard from the text editor
You can also add a whiteboard manually from the text editor. Add a whiteboard within the description field of a note. This is useful when you want to start from a blank canvas or reuse an existing whiteboard.
To add a whiteboard from the text editor:
While editing a note, click + in the text editor toolbar and select Whiteboard.
Select New whiteboard or Existing whiteboard.
If you select Existing whiteboard, search for the whiteboard you want to add and select it.
The whiteboard will appear below your cursor.
Edit or remove an embedded whiteboard
Click the pencil icon to edit the whiteboard.
When you are finished, click the X to leave the whiteboard and return to the note.
To remove an embedded whiteboard, click the trash can icon and confirm that you want to delete it.
