Scribbling on a Whiteboard

In Whiteboard mode, you can draw free-form marks and geometric shapes to emphasize specific material in a section of an eText page during a presentation. The eText Viewer refers to this ability as scribbling.

You can only scribble in Whiteboard mode. Using this feature you can draw:

When scribbling, you can only draw items within a single page. You cannot draw anything that spans two pages even when the two page view is selected.

Scribbled items are not saved when you move to another page or set of pages. For example, if you are in single page view and you move to the next page, scribbles on the current page are removed. Likewise, in two page view, if you move from one page spread to the next, the scribbles on the current two pages are not saved.

Scribbled items are saved for the current page when you change from two page view to single page view or vice versa.
