Collaborative whiteboard software provides a shared, singular, and open design space where collaborators can simultaneously make edits and share content from their respective devices. As the name implies, a collaborative whiteboard tool often resembles a physical whiteboard. These solutions include a variety of features which allow users to design, communicate, save, and share content in a customizable space.
While these tools are popular among design and project management teams, groups across any number of disciplines can benefit from an intuitive and user-friendly content sharing space. Most collaborative whiteboard solutions are standalone products, but some are built into other design software or visual collaboration platforms.
To qualify for inclusion within the Collaborative Whiteboard category, a product must:
Provide a customizable and editable blank design space that can be accessed and used my multiple contributors simultaneously
Offer design tools that allow users to draw and annotate
Be able to save the space
