Using Play Mode

This page explains how to use Play Mode. Unless otherwise noted, all instructions apply to project or workspace owners and editors, who have full access to the project.

Setting Play Mode start

Before running your project in Play Mode, you need to define a starting element. To do this:

1. Right click on an element.
2. Select Play Mode > Set start.

ℹ️ There can be only one starting element in a project.

Entering Play Mode

Access to Play Mode and its features depends on a user's role within the project. (For a quick overview of roles, see workspace and project roles in the Introduction section.)

❗ Project visitors without access to the board can only enter Play Mode via a public link. This occurs when a project has been shared publicly for Play Mode access only. (See Share.)

Play Mode button

To access the Play Mode, click the Play Mode button in the top-left menu bar.

Quickstart from here

You can also start Play Mode from any element in your project, ignoring the starting element. To do that:

1. Right click on an element.
2. Select Play Mode > Quickstart from here.

Reordering Options

Workspace and project owners and editors can reorder an element's clickable options. To reorder an element's options, follow the next steps:

1. Right-click the element in your board.
2. Select Play Mode > Quickstart from here.
3. In Play Mode, drag and drop the options into the desired order. Changes are saved automatically.

Audio in Play Mode

If you attach audio assets to elements, these files will automatically play during transitions between elements in Play Mode.

The Play Mode interface includes audio controls in the top navigation bar:

1. Click the audio icon to access volume controls.
2. Adjust the volume slider to set your preferred audio level.
3. Click the mute icon to toggle audio on or off.
