accompanying drawings that form a part hereof, and which are shown by way of illustration specific configurations or examples. Referring now to the drawings, in which like numerals represent like elements throughout the several FIGS., aspects of various technologies for providing dynamic whiteboard templates and regions will be described. 

[0028] FIG. 1A is a schematic diagram illustrating aspects of the configuration and operation of a digital ink capable computing device 102 (which might also be referred to herein as “thecomputing device 102”or simply “thedevice 102”)that implements the disclosed technologies in one particular configuration. The computing device 102 can be any type of computing device (e.g. a tablet, laptop, desktop, or smartphone) that includes functionality for enabling a user to a compose text or drawings from stroke inputs, sometimes referred to as “strokes” of digital ink. For example, the computing device 102 might be configured to accept digital ink input via natural user interface input methods (e.g., touch or gesture), via a handwriting input device (e.g., a digital pen or stylus), or by movement of a mouse pointer, touchpad pointer, etc. 

[0029] In order to enable inking in the manner described above, the computing device 102 can be configured with a touch-sensitive display device 108. The touch-sensitive display device 108 can detect user input 110 made by a user input device 112 (e.g. a digital pen, stylus, mouse, etc.) or via touch or gesture made by a finger or other appendage. User input made to the display device 108 using any mechanism might be referred to herein as a “touch.” 

[0030] It is to be appreciated that while the technologies disclosed herein are primarily presented in the context of a digital ink capable computing device 102, the disclosed technologies are not limited to use with such a computing system. Rather, the technologies disclosed herein can be utilized with computing systems not equipped with touch or digital ink capabilities such as, but not limited to, desktop or laptop computers. In this regard, it is also to be appreciated that while the embodiments disclosed herein are implemented by a whiteboard application 104, the disclosed technologies can be practiced with other types of applications, such as another type of collaboration application, a presentation application, or a word processing application. 

[0031] In order to provide the technical benefits described above, and potentially others, a digital whiteboard application 104 executes on the computing device 102. The whiteboard application 104 is configured to present a user interface (“UI”) that includes a whiteboard canvas (“canvas”) 114 upon which heterogenous objects 120 can be placed in a free-form manner. For example, the canvas 114 might be configured to accept digital ink
