Hi, Reading through the blog post [How to write Feature Specs](https://fibery.io/blog/guides/how-to-write-feature-specs/) I get the impression that I can quickly create diagrams. (“In Fibery you can add images and [create diagrams](https://fibery.io/features/whiteboards) quickly.” However, I only see the option to embed a whiteboard into a rich-text / document - the white board still needs to exist somewhere in the hierarchy outside the entities. I would like to simply create a diagram that is associated with the rich-text field of the entity/doc. Am I correct in only seeing the following options: - I setup a smart folder so I can attach Whiteboard views to the individual entity as a child, then Embed it - I setup a separate space only for whiteboard, create my whiteboard there, then embed it. This creates a bit of an awkward workflow where I need to create a separate space to hold diagrams if I start using them on a semi per-feature basis. ---

Amazing! Thank you, then I suggest that the AI support gets updated because it replied that this was not possible! ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/fibery/original/2X/8/8c3962133cd17796341f8d92285bb32016a45773.png) ---

By chance I had the same question but could not find it in the Fibery documentation. After searching for a couple of hours I found out that a changelog posted on the community pages dated October 1, 2020 showed that you need to enable the “Whiteboards” and/or “Documents” field on an entity before you can do this. ---

> [@albertdev](#): > > you need to enable the “Whiteboards” and/or “Documents” field on an entity before you can do this. If you want the whiteboards to be ‘attached’ to the entity, then yes. If you just want to embed a whiteboard within rich text, then no. ---

This changelog in particular: > [@CHANGELOG: October 1 / Create Documents and Whiteboards inside entities, Automatically link entities based on rules](https://community.fibery.io/t/changelog-october-1-create-documents-and-whiteboards-inside-entities-automatically-link-entities-based-on-rules/1023): > > We’re working on Integrations now, GitHub, Intercom and Trello will be released pretty soon. GitLab and Jira will follow next. Create Documents and Whiteboards inside entities Sometimes you want to attach several documents or whiteboards to an entity. For example, you have a feature and it would be handy to create technical specification in a document and draw flow diagram. Now you can do it, just install Documents and Whiteboards extensions. Here is how: Automaticall… I noticed that [the documentation](https://the.fibery.io/@public/User_Guide/Guide/Whiteboards-38) _does_ mention something about it on the first or second paragraph: > Alternatively, it can be associated with an entity in a given Database (provided the Database has the Whiteboards field enabled — see Fields ). This was a bit terse for me to notice that it was possible. ---
