Creating whiteboard projects

Users can create shared spaces known as Whiteboard Projects. This feature offers a structured environment for team members to contribute to specific projects, access shared content, and maintain organized workflows. Additionally, users can add external collaborators to their projects, enabling collaboration beyond internal teams. External users can take on roles such as viewer, commenter, editor, and co-owner, aligning with internal user permissions.
