Short version:
Microsoft Whiteboard is being rebuilt to integrate seamlessly across 365, so you can create, share, discover, and manage whiteboards as easily as any Office document. Starting October 2021, all newly created whiteboards will be stored as files in the OneDrive for Business of the person who starts or creates a whiteboard in Windows or Teams. This will also provide your organisation with rich content management features. This feature rollout is pencilled in for October 2021.
