Using the built-in whiteboard on a Clevertouch screen

Please note: this is independent guidance. Vision Tech is not affiliated with Clevertouch. Menus and features differ between models and software versions, so check your screen's own manual or on-screen help, and speak to your school IT team or supplier before changing admin-locked settings, updating firmware or doing a factory reset.

Most Clevertouch screens come with a built-in whiteboard so you can write, draw and teach without a laptop. On newer models it is often called Lynx Whiteboard, but older models may use a slightly different version.

Opening the whiteboard

On many screens you choose Present on the home screen and then tap the Whiteboard icon. On others you tap the Whiteboard icon from the Dashboard. Your screen may look slightly different, so look for a Whiteboard icon on the home screen or app list.

Writing and drawing

Tap the pen or pencil icon.
Write with your finger or pen.
Tap the icon again to see options for colour and thickness.
Use the shapes tools to draw lines, circles and boxes.

Toolbars may be in the middle, along the bottom and at the right. The names of buttons can change between versions, so tap an icon to see what it does.

Erasing and undoing

Use the eraser tool to rub out.
Use undo if you made a mistake. It is usually an arrow icon.
Be careful with any clear page option.

Save before you leave

Whiteboard work does not usually stay on the screen for ever, so save it before you finish. See our guide on saving and sharing whiteboard files.

When to get more help

If the whiteboard will not open, crashes or is missing tools, restart the screen first. If it keeps happening, your IT team or supplier can check the software version and update it. If the screen is managed by your school or company, some settings may be locked. Your IT team or the supplier you bought the screen from can help with warranty, firmware and admin-locked settings.

Did this help? If you are still stuck, email Vision Tech and tell us what you can see on the screen. Menus and button names can differ slightly between versions and makes. If something does not match, stop and ask rather than guess.
