Feature Requests

ClickUp already has a solid Whiteboard feature — but it's missing a major opportunity: AI-driven diagram generation. The use case is simple: I type a prompt describing what I need (a flowchart, a process map, a system architecture, an org chart…), and the AI builds the entire diagram for me — nodes, connections, layout — from A to Z. This already exists in the market. Excalidraw, for example, offers an MCP (Model Context Protocol) connector that integrates with Claude AI. You describe what you want in natural language, and it generates the full visual mapping directly on the canvas. It's fast, accurate, and a massive time saver. Imagine being able to do this natively inside ClickUp Whiteboards: "Map out a client onboarding workflow with 6 stages" "Create a decision tree for lead qualification" "Build a system architecture diagram for a CRM integration" …and getting a complete, editable diagram in seconds — right where the rest of your project lives. ClickUp is already investing heavily in AI. Adding AI generation to Whiteboards would be a natural and high-impact extension of that strategy. Would love to see this on the roadmap.

Please allow for hold right click on mouse to move the whiteboard instead of just pushing 'm' on the keyboard or 'v' every time to change between functionality. It is less clicks!

It would be great if we could zoom freely on whiteboards rather than in steps. Right now, Zooming is done in increments - and the increments also vary in strength - making it hard to get the exact zoom level you want. It's hard to get the contents to fit correctly for your screen size, where all elements are clearly visible and text legible. It would work a lot better if it would zoom smoothly instead of in jumps. So we could literally set any zoom percentage level. Maybe this would work best for Ctrl+mouse wheel users, and the zoom buttons can stay in increments. (They should be standardised - say every 5% zoom - as, right now, it can be any random increment). I would also suggest we could freely change the zoom number by clicking the number and changing it with a keyboard input.

The previous version of whiteboards allowed for text that could be different sizes in the same text box as well as bold and other formatting options. This being removed from whiteboard 3.0 has made it less readable

Please post any templates that you would like to see included in the whiteboards template library!

Description Whiteboards are great for facilitation and live collaboration, but there is no built-in way to timebox activities. A simple countdown timer (and optional stopwatch) inside Whiteboards would help teams keep pace during workshops, retros, brainstorming sessions, and decision-making conversations without relying on external tools or screen sharing. User story As a facilitator using ClickUp Whiteboards, I want to start a visible countdown timer on the canvas so that participants can stay aware of time remaining and we can move through agenda items efficiently. Suggested behaviour Add a Timer tool/widget available from the Whiteboard toolbar (or Insert menu). Timer modes: Countdown (set duration, e.g., 2, 5, 10, 15, 30 minutes or custom) Optional: Stopwatch (count up) Controls: Set duration Start, pause, resume, reset Optional: add +1 min / +5 min quick buttons Visibility and collaboration: Timer is visible to all collaborators on the Whiteboard (including viewers if appropriate). Timer state is synced in real time (everyone sees the same remaining time). Clear indication of who started/controls the timer (optional “facilitator control” setting). Notifications/alerts: Optional sound and/or visual cue when time is up. Optional intermediate alerts (for example, “1 minute remaining”). Placement and presentation: Timer appears as a movable/resizable widget on the canvas. Option to pin it so it stays visible while panning/zooming (sticky overlay). Permissions: Option to allow only editors (or a chosen facilitator) to control the timer; others can view.

Hello ClickUp Team, I recently received a feedback form for Whiteboards that included an option to schedule a meeting to share my thoughts. Unfortunately, I accidentally closed the tab before submitting the form, and I couldn’t find a way to access it again. I wanted to reach out because I genuinely value the opportunity to share feedback. I’m a daily FigJam user and actively exploring moving my brainstorming and visual workflow fully into ClickUp Whiteboards, but there are a few key issues currently blocking that transition. I’d be very happy to discuss these in more detail over a call if possible. Below is the feedback I was hoping to share: iPad Support Is a Major Gap My most common use case for FigJam and Miro is brainstorming, and that rarely happens on a laptop for me. It happens on an iPad, where drawing, sketching, and freehand thinking feel natural and creative. At the moment, Whiteboards don’t work properly on iPad, which makes them unusable for this purpose. For visual thinkers and designers, iPad support isn’t a “nice to have” — it’s essential. No Export Functionality I’m unable to export diagrams created in Whiteboards. This is a significant limitation because exporting is crucial for: Sharing with stakeholders Adding diagrams to presentations or documents Reusing or archiving ideas Without export options, the work feels locked in and hard to use beyond ClickUp. Arrow Positioning and Readability Issues Arrows currently connect from the center of shapes instead of the edges. This leads to: Visual clutter Arrow lines cutting through text inside shapes Allowing arrows to snap to shape edges would greatly improve diagram clarity and overall usability. Limited Text Hierarchy and Customization There’s no effective way to manage text hierarchy. I can’t: Define text sizes (e.g., small, medium, large) Customize font sizes freely This makes it difficult to structure information clearly, especially in larger or more complex boards. I’m sharing this feedback because I want to move my workflow from FigJam to ClickUp and use Whiteboards as my primary brainstorming tool. With improvements in these areas, I believe Whiteboards could become a very strong alternative. Please let me know if there’s a way to reschedule the feedback session or if there’s another channel where I can continue this discussion. Best regards, Khizar Javed Love your product :)

> Proposed feature Add a “Group by keywords” option for multi-selected Sticky Notes. > How it should work I select multiple Sticky Notes. ClickUp offers an action: Group by keywords. ClickUp analyses the text and clusters notes that share common keywords/phrases. ClickUp returns the results as groups/clusters, each with a suggested group name (based on the dominant keyword/theme). I can optionally rename groups and move notes between groups before confirming. > Expected outcome Selected Sticky Notes are automatically organised into keyword-based groups, with sensible suggested group names to speed up sorting and synthesis. Note: this feature is offered by Miro and Figjam and is incredibly useful in brainstorms and workshops, including retrospective and ideations.

The user can choose what (custom) fields to display on a task card and interact with them. Attached is an example of how Fibery does it.

As a user, I need to organize data in a grid so that my data has consistent spacing and alignment of objects. Functionality similar to this: https://help.miro.com/hc/en-us/articles/360011986519-Grid
