Run a brainstorm, retro or SWOT in a Whiteboard frame on your MockFlow board: generate it with AI, add notes, tags, sections, text and images, and export it.

The Whiteboard frame is an area of the board set up for a brainstorm. It holds notes, tags, sections, text and pictures, so a workshop exercise such as a SWOT, a retro or an idea session stays together and moves as one. A board can hold several, one for each exercise or team.
