Rooms and Shared Canvas
A room is the visual environment of the table (background and boundaries). It defines whether the workspace is infinite or bounded. All participants in the session see the same room and the same shared canvas.
What it is
Core elements
- Room: the background and rules of the workspace.
- Shared canvas: one space where everyone works together.
- Room types: the group table (unbounded) and self-reflection rooms (bounded).
How it works
- The host selects a room and all participants see the change.
- Bounded rooms have a visible frame, and items stay inside it.
- When switching rooms, objects adapt to the new boundaries.
How to use
Key steps
- Open the settings panel and switch to the "Room" tab.
- Choose a room using the thumbnail and description.
- Continue working on the shared canvas - changes sync for everyone.
Scenarios
- Group work: use the infinite group table for large layouts.
- Focused practice: choose a bounded room to keep attention inside the frame.
- Different stages: switch rooms to change the mood of the exercise.
Tips and errors
- If switching is disabled, you are not the host.
- After a room change, cards may shift - the system keeps them inside the bounds.
- In bounded rooms, zoom out to keep the full frame in view.
