Re: Reminder: Save your older Microsoft Whiteboards by August 22 

 

Dear colleagues,  

Following our communication on October 7, 2025, Microsoft is completing its move of legacy Microsoft Whiteboards to OneDrive. Legacy whiteboards that are not moved will be permanently deleted after September 5, 2026, and cannot be recovered.  

Action required 

Before August 22, 2026: 

If you see a migration message when you open Whiteboard: 

    • Open Whiteboard in Microsoft Teams on your computer or in a web browser. 
    • Follow the prompts and confirm the move is complete by August 22, 2026. 
    • If a Whiteboard cannot be moved, export anything important before September 5, 2026. 

If you do not see a migration message, no action is required. 

The standalone Whiteboard apps will retire on September 14, 2026. After that, use Whiteboard in Teams or on the web. 

Resources:  

Local IT teams: Please share this information with Whiteboard users in your division or unit. 

If you have any further questions or concerns, please submit a ticket to the Enterprise Service Centre at (https://uoft.me/m365help).
