How do you mark out areas in a whiteboard.

When I'm whiteboarding I may end up with a few distinct sections, I tend to like to mark out those sections so that they are easy to find from above. 

From what I've tried I seem to be a little limited in how I can mark out the different sections.  I've tried a rectangle to mark out and label and area but the text cannot be read, similar for a grouping or a section

The closes to what I'm after is the sticky note, due to it expanding the text size I can have a viewable label. But I cannot change the shape so it looks awkward. 

What I've tried is below (dummy example)

It's still a common issue, there is an Area tool but as you said, the text stays too small.

What i like to do is to create a text box so i can rescale it to the desired size.

The `section` tool is how you mark out sections, but they don't nest too well I've found. It's one of the 4 icons on the bottom of the tool bar.

As a tip... the nice thing about sections is you can use the `copy link` feature on right click to embed only that section in a wiki page.
