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.

This chapter covers the following topics:
Using Layers
Copying an Object
Locking and Unlocking an Object
Creating Page Transitions
Exporting a Presentation Object or Entity
Distributing Files
Distributing Files as GWB (PC Only)
Distributing Files as IWB
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.
