🛠️ Tools¶
The Tools menu collects the working modes that take over the view and have their own way in and out. While they are active, they replace the normal handling of the diagram.
| Entry | What it is for |
|---|---|
| New whiteboard and the Whiteboards section | Free surfaces where you arrange the cards yourself — see Whiteboard |
| Start Presentation | Automated guided tour through the diagram, with speech output |
| Memorize Items | Flashcard trainer — see Memorize Items |
Note: The panel is always available. The whiteboard entries only appear in edit mode, because creating and switching write data. Presentation and learning mode are also available while browsing.
🗒️ Whiteboard¶
A free surface where cards stay where you put them — meant as an intermediate step: collect first, then connect, then show as a diagram. You can keep several surfaces: New whiteboard creates one, the Whiteboards section lists the existing ones. You leave through the × in the whiteboard toolbar.
The detailed description is on the Whiteboard page.
📽️ Presentation Mode¶
This function is suited to meetings, lectures, or your own learning. It turns your network into an automated, guided tour. A click on Start Presentation initiates this mode.
Important note on controls: As soon as the presentation has started, the side menu is hidden. Instead, a new toolbar appears at the top right of your screen, from which you control the sequence:
- Previous / Next: With these arrow buttons you can manually jump one step backward or forward at any time.
- Pause Presentation / Start Presentation: The system automatically scrolls through the branches in a pleasant rhythm. A click on "Pause Presentation" pauses the automatic advance so that you can dwell on a specific item or explain something about it. The button then changes to "Start Presentation" — clicking it resumes the camera movement.
- Read out items: Activates your system's text-to-speech function. The app reads out the item name and the corresponding description text of the currently presented nodes.
- Close Presentation: Stops the mode, closes the upper toolbar and returns you to the normal view including the main menu.
🧠 Memorize Items¶
A click on Memorize Items opens the full-screen quiz mode, which uses item names and descriptions alternately as question and answer. The detailed description is on the Memorize Items page.
