Hi everyone,

I tried to add my idea to the virtual whiteboard, but I had a hard time navigating it. For me it just looks blank now :sweat_smile: Sorry if I messed something up while trying!

The idea I wanted to add is:

:robot: OpenMRS Bot for Automated PR Summaries & Reviews A bot that automatically generates a clear summary and initial review for every new pull request. This would save valuable time for both contributors and reviewers by providing instant feedback and context. The bot can highlight key changes, detect common issues, and give structured summaries—making the review process 10X more productive and collaborative.

Reference: Example implementation

I’ve addressed the issue and believe it should be resolved now. At your convenience, could you please review and confirm? Thank you for your time, and I apologize for any inconvenience caused

If the duplicates could be deleted, that should resolve the issue

Thanks for using the board @backloguy! Your sticky note looks good. Just drag the blank ones across in the future :slight_smile: I’ve deleted the extra boards too. (I don’t know how you were able to create those TBH because our Wiki won’t let us have >3 active whiteboards at once - you must tell me your secret! :stuck_out_tongue: )

When I was exploring the virtual whiteboard, I found a way to restore it to a previous version:

Step 1: Click on the edit link (e.g., edited 2h ago).

step1

Step 2: A sidebar will appear showing past saved versions.

Step 3: Select the version you’d like to restore, and also choose the place where it should be saved.

Step 4: This will create a duplicate of that version.

Thank you for your understanding @grace, and also for giving us this opportunity to share our ideas in the community. :folded_hands:
