Opening .wbx file from the surface hub
Hi Both
The WBX file I believe is just a storage medium for containing the Whiteboard data for the last session. It's not meant to be usable for the end user, and you can't use it to reopen a previous collaboration session.
When exiting a collaboration session on the current version of MS Whiteboard, it does remind you to save your Whiteboard to OneDrive or via email otherwise all data will be lost.
As Steven Collier has mentioned, try using the new Whiteboard Preview app which allows multiple whiteboards to persist under your O365 user account instead if you require this kind of functionality.

- This is not entirely true, if you save the link, whether to a Teams URL tab or Word doc you can access the whiteboard later via that link from a Surface Hub signed in on the current Whiteboard app. If you delete the file from your OneDrive the link will no longer work. The file that is in OneDrive cannot be directly opened without the link... By design it would seem.
