Abstract: Systems and methods for recording and archiving whiteboard sessions associated with an electronic whiteboard. In aspects, archived whiteboard sessions may be assigned to bookmarks along a whiteboard timeline, which may be editable. For instance, one or more ink strokes associate with an archived whiteboard session may be edited, i.e., added, deleted and/or altered in any way. Moreover, a bookmark corresponding to an archived whiteboard session may be renamed and/or relocated along the whiteboard timeline. In this way, whiteboard sessions may be updated or augmented for future use, may be organized in any suitable order along the whiteboard timeline (e.g., regardless of chronology), and may be named according to descriptive titles or topics (e.g., as opposed to automated date-stamping based on receipt date). In this way, an editable timeline associated with an electronic whiteboard may provide an organized library of readily-presentable content.
