# createWhiteboard

Create a whiteboard — an infinite Excalidraw canvas. A whiteboard is a hidden document (it won't appear in listDocuments) that hosts a single freeform canvas, and opens in the immersive whiteboard editor in the app. Returns documentId + diagramId. Author shapes afterwards with addWhiteboardElements (high-level specs) or updateWhiteboardScene. For anything beyond a blank board, call getWhiteboardGuide first to plan the layout (stencils vs architecture icons vs code/BPMN diagrams vs plain shapes), and render with getWhiteboardImage to verify as you go.

## Why createWhiteboard is rated Medium

This tool creates a new whiteboard document and returns identifiers for it.

The tool does not execute code or external operations, does not delete or overwrite irreversible data, and does not involve financial transactions.

From the tool's own definition: "Create a whiteboard — an infinite Excalidraw canvas. A whiteboard is a hidden document...Returns documentId + diagramId. Author shapes afterwards..."
