Users have the ability at any time to create a personal transcript of the current recorder session.
Users can import files into CVW's shared document space to share with other team members. The whiteboards do not disappear after the session ends, and can be opened and re-used to continue the work process. Whiteboards maintain attribution of the annotator, so it is easy to see who marked up the whiteboard surface and how. The contents of whiteboards can be printed or exported to a file so that it can be included in another product such as a report. With many users navigating around the many rooms that can exist in CVW, it can be difficult to know how to find someone, know if that person is available, or where that person left a document.
