# Linking whiteboards

A host can link whiteboards so that they use the same drawing surface. Any changes made to one of the linked whiteboards then appear immediately on the others.

When you link two whiteboards, you can control which is considered the original and which is the duplicate. This is important when you unlink the whiteboards, since only the original will retain the linked drawing. The duplicate whiteboard will revert to the drawing that was there before the whiteboards were linked.

{% hint style="info" %}
An *original* whiteboard can be linked to multiple *duplicate* whiteboards. You can push a whiteboard labelled as ORIGINAL to multiple other whiteboards. If a whiteboard isn't linked, you can pull a whiteboard labelled as ORIGINAL onto that unlinked whiteboard.
{% endhint %}
