How can we improve Microsoft Whiteboard on Windows 10?

← Whiteboard for Windows 10

Change sticky note feature so you can see all text without scrolling (if you want)

The sticky notes are great for virtual brainstorms. The only issue is that it seems the font size can not be changed and if you resize the sticky note, it just makes the text on the note bigger. If you have a ton of sticky notes, you can’t read them at a glance. You have to scroll to see all the text.

Would be nice if there were a way to make the post it note bigger so you can see more text. Or be able to decrease the font size to fit more text on the note.

    I find it strange that this issue hasn't been fixed already. I would rather classify it as a bug that the entire text doesn't show. please fix it Microsoft

    This would let us export to PDFs with fully legible sticky notes. Then, we can use PDFs to save a snapshot of the whiteboard to see how it changes over time

    To make matters worse different OSs have different scales in the postits. The writer of the note may see everything in it while some viewers only see parts of it and never realize that other parts are missing

    The app is sound but this problem is an absolute game changer for me. It makes it impractical to use for brainstorming and will have to look for some other product. Surely this is so basic a need to be able to visualise problems without a dozen of us having to click and scroll every note?

    Please fix the issue with font sizes not being adjustable in sticky notes. Also allow text to expand to show more words as the box is increased in size instead of just having the text size increase.

    Please allow the font and text size to be amended. Impossible to use and makes virtual workshops inefficient.

    Similarly, it would be great to be able to change the dimensions of the sticky notes to show more text (i.e. allow rectangles, not just squares). I wish the whiteboard sticky notes were more similar to the basic windows desktop version of sticky notes.

    I agree.. this is an essential feature. When will Microsoft get back to users on this please?

    hey Microsoft, how long can it take to implement such basic feature? According to comments here it is open since more than 1 year!
