Simplified mode

The tutorial in writing

What the video explains, step by step — to read without sound, or to go back to one precise moment.

1. Simplified mode Tutorial 33 — see less, lose nothing

   When you discover a piece of software, the first obstacle is not what it cannot do: it is everything it offers at once. Simplified mode answers that. It removes decisions, it moves none of them, and it never touches what you have already set.

2. The product, shorter The same rooms, fewer screens

   Here is your workspace in simplified mode. Your rooms are all there, with their codes and their settings. What changed is the number of paths that lead to them.

3. The switch Two words side by side, at the top of the screen

   It sits in the top bar, next to the Create button. Two segments: the lit one says where you are, the other says what exists beside it. One click moves from one to the other, and you come back to the page you were reading.

4. A four-entry menu Home, your rooms, create, results

   The side menu goes from thirteen entries down to four: home, your rooms, something to create an activity with, and your results. That is the path of a session, from start to finish.

5. And the rest? A door, at the bottom of the menu

   Nothing disappears silently. The last line of the menu says where the rest went, and it takes you there. A tool you can no longer find, with nobody saying where it is, is not a simple product: it is a broken one.

6. Create One button, not a list of twenty

   In advanced mode this button unfolds some twenty activities. Here it unfolds nothing: it leads to the assistant.

7. The assistant One question before twenty answers

   The assistant first asks what you want to do — start the session, make them revise, check what they have learned — and then offers the tools that answer that intention. You pick a moment, not a tool name.

8. A room's menu Four actions instead of ten

   On every room card, the small menu keeps the four actions of a session: open the tools, add a file, show the QR code, delete. The monitoring screens are put away.

9. The settings wheel Your logo, and the room's tools

   The configuration window keeps what you set often: your logo, the header colour, and the room's tools. The choice of access mode is no longer there.

10. And yet nothing is lost A private room stays private

    This is the most important point of this tutorial. This room is reserved for a group: simplified mode no longer offers to change that, but it tells you so, it names the group, and it keeps the setting untouched. Switching to simplified opens no room to anyone.

11. Creating a room A name, a code, and that is all

    The creation window keeps the name and the code — you say it out loud, so it stays your choice, and short suggestions are offered to you. The advanced options panel is gone.

12. The training folder If your centre has assigned you a session

    One exception, and it is deliberate. If you are a trainer in a centre and someone has assigned you an attendance sheet or a satisfaction survey, they stay in your menu, grouped together. These are parts of a compliance file: putting them away would take an obligation off your screen, not a complication.

13. Changing your mind The setting explains itself, in your profile

    The setting lives on your account, not on this computer: you find it again wherever you sign in. And it switches both ways, as often as you like. Try it for a week — if the product feels too short, the other mode is one click away.
