Beginning of your meeting

Your Compositeur Digital UX is started, waiting for a universe to be opened. Three situations are available here :

1. Either you already have created a universe that contains all your important documents which will be useful during your meeting and you have never worked on this universe;
2. You have a universe, and you already have saved projects out of it;
3. Or you just need an empty space to start talking about your meeting goals.

Depending on your situation, open your universe, project or start an empty workspace.

Your meeting can start now!

During your meeting

During your presentation, you’ll face some situations where you’ll need to interact with the workspace. This section summarizes all the actions you can do.

During your presentation, you’ll probably need to work on documents. If your universe includes documents, you can open a document using the dock area:

1. If the dock is not visible, tap on the navigation bar at the bottom of the screen.
2. If your document is already on screen, it will arrive under your finger.

If your dock is empty, make sure the dock is displaying your universe documents:

1. Tap on the main menu button.
2. Tap on the button which contains your universe’s name.
3. All the documents which belong to your universe are now displayed in the dock.

The workspace allows you to annotate a document, it requires to have a pencil recognized by your device. Simply use the pencil on your document. You can change the color of the ink, and the type of the ink as well.
