Duplicate board option/button
Add "Duplicate" on board overview page. This will make it easy to use an existing board as a template.

Absolutely the thing I could use most. As a social worker, it would allow me to have a file that I can copy, fill in with a client for an assessment and still have the blank as an assessment template.

Interestingly, I have seen no response or action on this issue. I am abandoning Microsoft Whiteboards. There are so many better options available out there now. This one just got left behind.

So frustrating! I made some whiteboard games for my students (checkers, connect 4), which was quite time consuming. I’d love to be able to just duplicate them so the kids can’t accidentally delete my hard work, or so more than two students can be playing at a time.

This is a must have, very important for a good brainstorm session

Yes, yes! When doing collaborative group work, we need 6-7 versions of the same whiteboard, we want to be able to copy the same whiteboard to share out!

Its important to be able to duplicate a file to edit a new one

Agreed - duplicating a whiteboard for multiple sessions is very labor intensive, especially if you have locked background features. I'd love to be able to duplicate an entire board, maybe without even having to go into the specific whiteboard (a "duplicate" option from the entry screen, for example)

Same . I made a whiteboard with templates to do a innovation process workshops. Then to my horror I noticed I cant duplicate it to be used in a nother session!

I agree. Microsoft Whiteboard is not very useful to me without the ability to duplicate boards (make a template board that can be reused by copying the original.)
I can do this with Google Jamboard or multiple other Whiteboard programs, so this is a rather essential feature

As I teach more than one class the same subject, I would prefer to be able to post many copies of the same whiteboard before giving the lesson.
Please I hope to see this feature as soon as possible.. Thanx. -

I agree. There should be a way to save a board as a template. This would also allow customization of provided template to match a teams working model better.
Import of PPT or DOCs can provide visual framework for things like process mappings and SIPOCS, but the functional elements are missing. I should not need to re-add them every time. -

This is such an important requirement.

Unbelievable that MS Whiteboard has zero management functionality on its whiteboards. You can create a new one and delete an existing whiteboard. Export to png is useless, because it destroys all intelligence. Why not a full export to XML and create a whiteboard standard exchange format?

A duplicate button would be great. We have many instances where we would like to be able to share a template so that others within the company can use.

I need a feature that will allow me to use a duplicate copy of whiteboard for multiple classes of the same subject.
