Problem  
When collaborating on whiteboards, it is essential to prevent participants from **deleting content added by others** , whether intentionally or accidentally. For instance, during a brainstorming session where everyone is contributing ideas via sticky notes, one person might disagree with another’s idea and delete their note. Alternatively, someone might delete a note by mistake. This **should not be allowed.**

**Describe the solution you’d like**  
Ideally, there should be a setting option for the owner of a whiteboard that allows participants to **only add** content, **not delete** it or **only delete own** content. This setting should be default.

As a temporary solution, one can lock items after adding them. But this prevents only accidental deletion by others.
