Description
In the docs the following information could be found:
The websocket server handles real-time collaboration sessions between users. Important: The websocket server is only needed for live collaboration - basic whiteboard functionality works without it.
However, I got the impression, that's not correct. Storing - a basic functionaltiy - to the NC Backend does not seem to work without the whiteboard server in place. Not even exporting to a XML or JSON datastructur seems to be possible from the FE client. Could someone please confirm I got this right?
