Expand Table of Contents

# edit Rename tool

Changes the headline of the tool. The headlines can be used to structure the content of a session.

# content_copy Copy tool (without chat)

Copies the content of a graphical tool with drawing area. This function can be used very well to record an intermediate status: Copies the current tool so that two tools exist below each other. You can then continue working in the copied tool and keep the original tool unchanged.

Note: The chat history of the tool is not copied, so you can continue working in the copy with an empty chat history.

# arrows_input Gather participants here

Send a message to all participants in the session to gather at this tool. To do this, a message is displayed in the top right-hand corner, which also shows who has performed the function. The browser automatically scrolls to the corresponding tool for all participants. The participants can then scroll away from this position again, but can of course also be reassembled at the tool by executing the function again.

This function is only available to (co-)group leaders.

# download_2 Export as Image

Save your progress with just one click. This function generates a graphic file (PNG) of the entire canvas content and automatically starts the download.

Usage

Use the export function to save or forward intermediate results for documentation. Alternatively, you can duplicate the tool within the session to keep multiple versions available directly in the workspace.

# lock Lock/Unlock Changes

This feature gives you full control over the interaction during your session by restricting the editing capabilities for participants without moderation or group management rights.

  • Lock: Protects the current content from modifications. This is ideal during presentation phases to focus the group's attention.
  • Unlock: Activates collaborative editing, allowing all participants to create and modify content together again.

Moderation Rights

Please note: Participants with moderation rights or group responsibility can continue to edit the tool even when it is in a locked state.

# expand_all Move tool

The tool can be moved up or down in the session. This allows the order of the tools to be subsequently changed.

# arrow_split Copy with breakout session

If this is a plenary session or a breakout session subordinate to the plenary session, the tool can be copied together with its content. Copying is restricted to breakout sessions, as encryption is standardised there.

Possible use cases for breakout sessions:

  • Copy whiteboard with task from plenary session to breakout sessions

  • Copy result from breakout session to plenary session

This function is only available to the (co-)group leaders.

# delete_forever Delete tool

The tool and all its contents in the drawing area and chat are deleted.

Attention: after accepting the confirmation question, the contents of the tool are permanently deleted and can no longer be restored.
