WorkSpace Modes
WorkSpace allows you to capture text, graphics, or virtually any image from any application that you can project from your
computer. The software is categorized into six "modes," each consisting of different capabilities.
By default, WorkSpace opens in Lesson Mode. In Lesson Mode, WorkSpace takes a screenshot of
the desktop allowing you to annotate over the static image - write, draw, insert images, highlight,
interact with, and annotate over prepared material. A blank page can be used as a whiteboard in a
lesson without leaving the WorkSpace presentation.
For more information, see Lesson Mode.
In Mouse Mode, the internet can be accessed using the Mouse tool. Additionally, select any of the
annotation tools while in Mouse Mode to change/return to Lesson Mode.
See Mouse Mode for more information.
By selecting Annotate Over Desktop Mode, the desktop is turned into a canvas. Use the
Annotation Tools, Page Tools or Capture Tools to write and draw on the desktop.
Refer to Annotate Over Desktop Mode.
Multi-User Mode allows two or more participants to interact with Turning Technologies whiteboards
using collaborative (shared) or defined (one person per defined area) space. Multiple Mobi devices
can be displayed on the whiteboard at the same time.
Refer to Multi-User Mode.
Open and interact with Microsoft Office applications directly from the WorkSpace software in Office
Mode.
For more information, see Office Mode.
All notes made on the whiteboard can be captured and saved as pages within WorkSpace for
distribution, without the use of the projector in Whiteboard Mode.
See Whiteboard Mode for more information.

WorkSpace Window
Once in WorkSpace, the WorkSpace Window is displayed. The WorkSpace Window consists of a page in the presentation file
and several toolbars on the right side and bottom of the window. By default, the window can be sized and moved.
The Toolbar displays when WorkSpace is opened in Lesson Mode. The default toolbar scheme is set to Intermediate.
The Page Navigation Toolbar displays the tools used to navigate through the presentation file, including the Pan
Page, Previous Page, Page Counter, Next Page and Multi-User Mode tools.
Click the Extend/Scroll Page arrows to extend the page.
The Properties Bar provides options to change the properties of the selected annotation tool (pen, highlighter, shape).
For example, the pen tool Properties Bar includes color, width, transparency, line ends and line styles.
The Properties Bar also contains the Page Properties, including backgrounds, color and transparency, which can be
accessed by clicking the Selection tool on the WorkSpace Toolbar.
To the left of the Properties Bar is the LayersToolbar. The Layers window appears when using the Layers Toolbar. By
default, all annotations on a page are arranged in a single layer. Add, delete, show, hide, and arrange different layers.
Use the Recycle Bin to delete selected objects from the page. Drag the selected object and drop it in the Recycle Bin.
Click the Undo tool to retrieve objects dropped into the Recycle Bin.

being saved as a page in an WorkSpace file.

text.

Using Layers
Copying an Object
Locking and Unlocking an Object
Creating Page Transitions

Exporting Files
Using Layers
Use the Layers tool to manage all of the items that make up your WorkSpace page. A layer in WorkSpace is analogous to a
clear folder that contains artwork. For example, if you reshuffle the folders, you change the stacking order of the items in your
artwork. You also can move items between folders.
The Layers function allows you to list, organize and edit the objects in a document. By default, every new page contains a
single layer, and each object you create is listed under that layer. However, you can create new layers and rearrange items to
best suit your needs.
Creating Layers within WorkSpace
Use the Layers toolbar to edit layer properties.
