Creating an embedded document- Whiteboards

Add documents of any kind to your Ayoa whiteboard - learn how with this quick guide.

 

Are you looking to add lots of information, but you want to easily update it without leaving Ayoa? Instead of using a word document you can utilise the white board document creator to add a text document embedded in the Whiteboard that can be edited at any time.
