Session Access and Participation Rules
A session is a shared workspace where all participants see the same cards and changes. A session is created automatically when you enter, and the host gets control over session settings.
What it is
Core elements
- Session code: a short 6-character code used to join.
- Invite link: a URL with the code that you can send to others.
- Host role: can change deck and room settings and end the session.
- Participants: join via link or code and work with the cards.
- Close session button: a small "X" button in the top-right corner of the session card, visible only to the host.
Participation rules
- Everyone sees changes in real time.
- Only the host can change session settings.
- When the host ends the session, all participants are disconnected.
How to use
Steps for the host
- Open the session panel and copy the invite code or link.
- Send the link or code to participants.
- If needed, end the session to start a new one.
Closing a session (host only)
- Click the "X" button in the top-right corner of the session card.
- A confirmation modal will appear with options:
- Save screenshot: toggle this option to save a screenshot of the current table before closing.
- Download: if screenshot is enabled, downloads the image to your device.
- End session: closes the session and disconnects all participants.
- Stay: cancels and keeps the session open.
Closing disconnects everyone
When you close a session, all participants will be disconnected immediately. Make sure to save any important work before closing.
Steps for a participant
- Open the link or click "Join" and enter the 6-character code.
- Wait until the status changes to "Connected".
- Work with cards together with the host.
Switching sessions
When you try to join a different session while already in one, a confirmation dialog appears:
- The dialog warns you that switching will clear your current work.
- Save screenshot option: toggle this to save a screenshot of your current table before switching.
- Switch: confirms the switch and takes you to the new session.
- Cancel: keeps you in the current session.
Save your work
Always enable the screenshot option before switching sessions if you want to keep a record of your current layout.
Scenarios
- Quick invite: share the link and the participant joins immediately.
- Return later: save the code or link and reuse it.
- Switch sessions: choose "Join another session" and enter a new code.
- End and restart: host closes the session and creates a new one for a fresh start.
Tips and errors
- If the code is rejected, check the length (6 characters) and keyboard layout.
- Switching sessions clears current cards and notes, but you can save a table screenshot before moving on.
- If the host ended the session, create a new one.
- The close session button is only visible to the host - participants cannot end sessions.
