Update a whiteboard name, description, or linked opportunity.

## Parameters

| Name | In | Type | Required | Description |
|------|----|------|----------|-------------|
| `whiteboard_id` | path | string | yes | UUID of the whiteboard to update. Get ids from list_whiteboards. |
| `opportunity_id` | body | string | no | UUID of the opportunity this whiteboard hangs off. Pass null to make it standalone. |
| `name` | body | string | no | Whiteboard name shown in the Whiteboards list. |
| `description` | body | string | no | What this whiteboard is for. Internal note for your team. |
| `settings` | body | object | no | Whiteboard canvas settings (grid, snapping, background, default tool). Full-replace on write. |
| `require_approval` | body | boolean | no | Optional. Set true to route this write into the approval queue for human review instead of executing it immediately (returns 202 + an approval_id). Works even when your key/token has permission to execute directly. |
