Bring Focus to Your Collaboration Sessions with Section Spotlight and Laser Pointer
Ever wish you could bring the attention of other users to certain areas of your Storm? Now you can use the Laser Pointer to draw attention to certain objects & areas or use the Section Spotlight feature to highlight a specific section of your Storm for all users.
Both new features help to enhance your collaboration experience, eliminate distractions, and ensure that no great ideas go unseen!
Section Spotlight
Available on Enterprise subscriptions
Focus the attention of users in your Storm on a specific section by using the new Section Spotlight feature! Whether you are presenting, working through an outline, or running a collaboration session, Section Spotlight makes it easier for everyone to be on the same page and eliminates distractions.
Note: This feature is limited to Storm Administrators
To start a spotlight:
Click the ‘Customize this Section’ icon in the top right of a section header.
Click ‘Spotlight Section.’ This will focus the position of all Storm users on that section. You will only be able to collaborate and add/move ideas within the spotlighted area.
Move a spotlight to a different section:
Any section that is not currently being spotlighted will have the ‘Customize this Section’ icon replaced with a ‘Move Spotlight’ icon. Click this to move the spotlight to a different section.
Two ways to stop a spotlight:
Once a section spotlight is started, a floating button will appear above that section that says ‘Stop.’ Click this to stop the spotlight (see GIF above).
Alternatively, you can click the ‘Customize this Section’ icon on the spotlighted section and select ‘Stop Spotlight’ from the menu.
