A Whiteboards Hub

Allow users to search their “database” of Whiteboards so they don’t lose track of where they are.

Hello Everyone!
We're thrilled to announce that the whiteboards hub is now fully operational! If you've been using ClickUp 3.0, chances are you've already had a taste of its convenience. But for those who are just getting started, we believe it's going to make your workflow much smoother.
With this feature, you can swiftly locate any of your whiteboards within your workspace, create new whiteboards directly from the hub, and find them with ease in your sidebar (remember to pin it for quick access).
So go ahead, take it for a spin!

Making progress. Adding sorting and filter by name next

Zach - ClickUp: Hey Zach. Can we get these same options for Docs home? So Favourites, Recent, etc etc.
Zach - ClickUp
Guy Mannerings: Yes you will
Guy Mannerings
Zach - ClickUp: Great! Thanks!
Julian Pustkuchen
Totally agree with the others here and I think it's important to (re-)use the same components / UX as in all other clickup areas and especially other CU Homes. Don't reinvent the wheel :)
And yes, tagging, features and location are super important!
Zach - ClickUp
Julian Pustkuchen: we're building it to be re-usable and flexible Julian!

Hey all!
We're working on building a Home for Whiteboards and I'd love to get your feedback on how you want it to work. Looking at the attached image:
- Does this directionally look like something that would help you out?
- What, if anything, doesn't make sense or doesn't seem useful?
Thank ya 🙏
Philipp Stracker
Zach - ClickUp: a great improvement!
- For me, the top section is not useful (me/popular/recent).
- I’d rather like to see a favorites-boards section (which every user can manually favorite).
- Also, the Whiteboard Location is an important detail that’s missing for me

Ashley Aragona
Zach - ClickUp: love this, would also love tiny location description to show below the title (ie: Marketing - if it’s in the folder called “Marketing”) - also seconding the “favorites” idea above!
Brendon McCarthy
Zach - ClickUp: Good start. Seems like a lot of extra space on the long-wide list. What else can go here? Location for sure. Tags? Contributors?

Abraham Jaimes
Zach - ClickUp: For our team, the top section, "Popular", is not useful. We would rather have a "Shared" section. Also, in the "Docs" home, the ability to filter is extremely useful. There we can filter by tags, so I'm not sure what would be best, but filters would be useful.
Otherwise, this is a good start!
Zach - ClickUp
Abraham Jaimes Philipp Stracker - we'll let you hide one, some, or all of those options on top. You can show them later as well.
We'll think about the favorites idea, thank you!
Brendon McCarthy Ashley Aragona Noted on location, we're going to add this.
Thanks all!
Pavel Pronin
Zach - ClickUp: you may consider to add main wb parameters filter above the list of all wb (tag, etc).
Draggable favourites/created by me and recent by edit time (to see it's been changed) seems quite handy in the top section.
Eduardo Alcántara
Zach - ClickUp: That looks good.
What would happen if a user creates a Whiteboard off of a task? A Location information would be helpful.
I wonder what happen when you create a Whiteboard from this panel. Will a task be prompted to be selected so the whiteboard has a location?
Would there be a way to create Whiteboards without locating them in a task? (like Miro) If so, it would be cool to organize those in folders.
There could be folders for no task related whiteboards, and task related whiteboards. That would be awesome.
Thank you.
Pravin Gowardun
Zach - ClickUp: Great Improvement. I would like to see a classification column such as 'Tags' instead of the whitespace.

Zach - ClickUp:
I would suggest to match as much with the Docs Home to keep some consistency in the Clickup interfaces. Maybe even leverage the existing Docs Home interface and adjust it to accommodate Whiteboards only.
---
I would convert "Created by Me" with "Favourites".
Include time updated (not just date). Just as with Docs Home. So maybe even include Last Viewed.
Include Location (behind the map name) as with Docs Home.
I would even go as far as to say I would like to see the space/folder/list structure which you can expand/collapse or create a view filter for the list so that you can quickly browse through all whiteboard beneath a certain folder or list as you would with your computers file explorer. I usually have a folder for clients and multiple lists for projects. That way you can quickly see all the whiteboards for a particular client or project (sorted on newest on top). P.S. I would also love to see this for Docs Home... because...
The Location in Docs Home is not always enough if you use structured folders. I have a list of "Contact Details" documents in folder "Documentation", however both are default sub-docs/folders under each of my Client folders. So I can never distinguish them. So option to do Full Path is a plus.
As this "Home" would be the place to either start working on a whiteboard or sharing it I would put the sharing option in here. Same as with Docs Home.

Zach - ClickUp: Hi!!
I've the Philipp Stracker oponion :)
- I’d rather like to see a favorites-boards section (which every user can manually favorite).
- Also, the Whiteboard Location is an important detail that’s missing for me
- May be able the labels options :)
Thank you so much for this improvement!!
Guy Mannerings
Zach - ClickUp: It's okay as a basic start if you can push it out quickly, but I would like to see:-
- Pinned Whiteboards, so I can quickly access ones I am working on often.
- Similarly, Favourite Whiteboards that might be more long-term.
- Locations are needed. This can be done like Docs home, where it lists them next to the Whiteboard name.
- Following that, I would really like to be able to group Whiteboards by Location (with a choice of grouping by Space, Folder, or List).
- Custom folders.
- Labels, like with Docs home.
- Previews of Whiteboards. Preferably dynamic or static image that we can upload, as a choice.
- It would be great if we could add a manual description to Whiteboards. Like how we can add descriptions to Lists. Then these descriptions can be added to the Whiteboards Home. This would be really useful, because whiteboards often have multiple drafts. So I would like to be able to add an explainer of what each draft is. Or they can be bigger ideas that warrant an explanation. There is no facility to do this currently.
Zach - ClickUp
Thanks everyone, GREAT ideas. Lots of which, we're planning on adding as well! Stay tuned

"we'll let you hide one, some, or all of those options on top. You can show them later as well."
Zach - ClickUp: It would be awesome if this would also go in to the Docs Home. Also for UI consistency.

I love that information.

Guy Mannerings
Any news on this?
Zach - ClickUp
Guy Mannerings: Hoping to tackle this after February
Zach - ClickUp
While not a full solution, we're going to soon add the ability to see all of your Whiteboards in our Search feature. This is only a quick win, and we'll get to Whiteboards Home down the road as well!

Bryanda
I love this suggestion and agree 1000%! Switching between relevant whiteboards in differing sections can be a bit much while trying to add to both simultaneously.
Sean Meacher
I just now wanted to update a whiteboard, then spent 5 minutes looking for it as I couldn't remember which space it was in. They don't show up in the search results either, so some way to gather them together would be great.
Zach - ClickUp
Sean Meacher: Perfect example of why we need this added. It's on our list to get done soon!
