Notes

The whiteboard drawing features can be used only with your computer’s mouse or trackpad. If you have a touchscreen laptop, you cannot use a stylus, your finger, or other writing apparatus to write on the whiteboard. The whiteboard also cannot be used with a connected writing tablet or pad or dual monitors.

You can practice all text and drawing functionalities with this sample whiteboard. In the true exam environment, you can also resize the whiteboard as needed.
