The Workshop tour shows you where everything for running a session lives. It works on the real editor rather than screenshots: it spotlights each part with a highlight ring and a short explanation. It adds nothing to your canvas, takes under a minute, and you can leave at any point.
Starting the Tour
The tour never starts or pops up on its own. On a tab you can edit, press Start Workshop Tour in the bar along the bottom of the editor, just left of Search. On a phone the button shows only its play icon.
The button doesn't appear on a locked tab, in an embed, or for someone who can only view or take part. If you have a complex element selected, the button offers that element's tour instead; select nothing to get the Workshop tour back. Once you've taken the tour (finished or skipped it), it leaves the button, which then offers another tour you haven't taken or isn't shown. To take it again, switch it back on in Settings (see below).
What It Covers
- Collaborate: Ask and Session, the palette's session kit after Layout: Ask holds votes, polls and quizzes, and Session the tools, records, reactions, selection modes and places to go. See Collaborate.
- Run the Room: the Timer, Vote and Poll buttons in the bottom-right corner, which run for everyone without placing anything. See Session Tools.
- Bring People In: the Share button, where a Participant link lets people add notes, vote and answer without changing the rest. Left out where there is no Share button.
Each step has Next, Back and Skip tour. The last card, You're ready to run a workshop, links to the Workshop mode article and ends the tour with Start. If you switch tab mid-tour, it ends as skipped.
Replaying the Tour
Once taken, the tour stays off the button until you switch it back on in Settings:
