Aha! Whiteboards | Images and media

Whiteboards are great for creating user flows and diagrams to show processes and relationships. But sometimes the information you are visualizing on your whiteboard could use some extra context to support engagement and collaboration. Add images to your whiteboard to convey complex concepts, demonstrate workflows, and showcase user experiences.
