Deleting whiteboards

You delete a whiteboard along with its children. The active whiteboard from where you started the delete option is deleted. You must ensure that you are on the right whiteboard while you click the delete option to ensure that you are not deleting any child whiteboards by mistake. If you delete a whiteboard that has children, all child whiteboards are also deleted.

Procedure

  1. Click Delete whiteboard in the Whiteboard Explorer. Delete whiteboard window is displayed.
  2. Name of the active whiteboard is displayed.
  3. Select the Confirm delete check box and then click OK.
    Note: Verify whether any child whiteboards are available and if you want to delete them as well. Deleting a whiteboard that has children deletes the whiteboard along with its children.
  4. You can also delete the underlying model elements that are referred by the shapes on the whiteboard by choosing the Delete Model Elements check box.

    Important: If the model elements in the deleted whiteboard have references in any other whiteboard, that is if they are used in some other whiteboards, then the model elements are not deleted. Only the view of those model elements in the whiteboard, from where the deletion is initiated, is deleted.

What to do next

The specified whiteboard is deleted.
