Is there a way to set a viewport when embedding a whiteboard?

When I embed a whiteboard into a Confluence page, it is often not the intention to have the user scroll around the embedded content.

Users don't like that:

- It stops scrolling through the actual page content they are reading

- the focus (centering of content) of the embedded whiteboard is lost (and must be restored via zoom or refresh)

Personally I would like to also be able to display a portion of the whiteboard in an embed, as some boards contain several steps of a process (eg. Brainstorming + prioritisation).

Hi @Edwin Hurst ,

I believe you can simply select a portion of the whiteboard and then use Copy link to object option, which will actually focus on what you've selected once the user opens the link.

For example, in the examples below, I've used only a portion of the whiteboard and embedded a link to that, vs. embedded the view for the full diagram.

Is this what you're looking for, or did I miss the point here?

Cheers,
Tobi
