I'd like to know this as well, just because I don't want other folks editing my whiteboards! 🙂

Hi Bushra, Dave
you can do it in two ways:

-  set permissions of the whiteboard to view-only ( on top of the page)
-  make an overlay layer with transparent rectangle and lock it

Kind regards

So, if you set your old whiteboards to Read-only it doesn't count to your "3-board-limit" in Confluence standard? 

I have missed that, really good to know!
