We use whiteboards for many things, including capturing a sitemap with cards for each page in a web product. This helps us a lot in product discovery. [Clipboard02] However, product discovery is messy by design and we invariably end up with a lot of “junk” / obsolete pages. What I need is a simple way of doing cleanup: All the pages on this whiteboard represent the source of truth and should be kept. Every other page not on this board is junk and should be deleted. Right now there is no easy way of doing this: there is no “select all entities of same type” functionality there is no bulk edit for entities on the whiteboard there is no entity property that says “this Page entity is instantiated in these whiteboards” Are there any workarounds for doing this sort of cleanup?

This has way more chances to be done in some future

Hey there, I read your text 5 times and ,tbh, I’m confused about what you actually need, what sort of cleanup. Whiteboards in the way they are cool but also cannot do a lot of other things among those you’ve mentioned. Everyone has their own needs. :slight_smile: I’d also like whiteboards to be more powerful. There’re some requests related to whiteboards on this forum. Could you perhaps re-phrase your question?

For a given database and a whiteboard, I need to answer the question which of these entities are visible on the whiteboard?

Is it the same as this? [image] Entities in whiteboard don't appear in reference Ideas & Features Not sure if this is a bug or intentionally left out, but I notice that entities that are added to whiteboards do not create a “Reference” block within the entity. Use case I like using whiteboards when I’m doing some brainstorming with entities and being able to see the whiteboards that an entity has been referenced in would be helpful for resurfacing these brainstorms.

Yup, though apparently I’m out of votes, and that request didn’t get any traction either :frowning:

To be honest there are low chances it will be done in any foreseeable future, since demand is low in comparison with other things and effort is high

That was pretty much a given. I was curious if there was any other way of getting at it, such as using an automation with a JS script. Since entities are visible on an whiteboard, there is something connecting them, it’s just a matter if that info is accessible or not. Additionally, I could try asking the AI to tag entities on a whiteboard, though I don’t think it can access whiteboard content, just like it can’t access documents. To get back to your point, a good workaround would be if you guys add bulk editing in whiteboard as well, just like in normal views, as this would be in-line with the current Fibery updates and I assume many people could make use of it.
