Can I bring an existing Eraser file into virtual office?

Yes, depending on your virtual office. Some virtual offices (like Gather) will allow you to change the URL of the whiteboard. If that is the case, simply paste the URL of the Eraser file that you would like to show into the whiteboard URL field.

Refer to your virtual office's documentation for more information.
