I am on a Samsung tablet S7 and I cannot work out how to enable whiteboard on anything. I know it is possible cause a friend of mine has the same device. Please help?

What settings to I need to do, how do I activate it for decks?

Hi,
To enable Whiteboard you have to press the three dot options symbol at the top right of your screen and choose the option to "Enable Whiteboard"

Steps :
1. Choose the deck

2. Select the card
3. On top right press the three dot symbol and select "Enable whiteboard" option

4. To disable whiteboard press the options menu again and choose "Disable whiteboard"

Its not there. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the app so I should have the current version, but it is not an option.

Hi there!

I think you need to either use the top-right menu to toggle it on, or you can add it (in reviewer preferences I think) as a button to show up on the app bar: https://docs.ankidroid.org/#_app_bar_3

That option is only on the reviewer screen, in the image you sent prior it appeared you were trying the menu on the deck list screen
