Whiteboard function

Applies to MindManager used with Mindjet Connect.

The Whiteboard allows you to add drawings and markers to the Instant Meeting window that are visible for all Meeting participants. For example, during a meeting you can use the Whiteboard to draw attention to details in a document.

Participants in Watch mode can draw at any time. The markings persist on the screen only until the next mouse or keyboard command by the Show mode participant (or by the participant with remote control).

The Show mode participant can turn on the Whiteboard to freeze the screen and make their own markings. When the screen is frozen drawings stay on the screen.
