Every team works differently. You may find that the built-in templates in your template library are perfect for team's workflow — but you may need a template more closely catered to your team's objectives and preferences. If you are an Whiteboards Advanced plan customer, you can create a custom whiteboard template to have the perfect blueprint for your meeting, activity, or workflow that you can use to drive consistency across your workspace. Or create a personal template catered specifically to your needs.
