How your Sessions are saved

Sessions are saved in the cloud and are located in the cannyboard account of the respective owner. From there they can be opened at any time on a Sessionboard as well as on the desktop of your laptop / PC.

Elements of a Session in the Session Library

In the following, the individual elements of a created Session in the Session Library are explained using the grid view. The list view also contains the same elements of a Session.

1. Name of Session

Each session has its own name, with which you can recognize it unambiguously. We recommend the following points when naming sessions: 

• Names cannot be assigned twice within your session library.
• The length of the name should not exceed 37 characters. 
• Choose a unique name that will give information about the content and/or the group work. 

2. Manage Session (more options)

By clicking on the three-point menu, you are offered several options for managing your session:  

Detailed information about these options can be found in the article "How to manage your Sessions".

3. Current status of the Session

Together with the Start/Stop button (see 4.), the session displays the current status and the options available for working with the session: 

• Last opened on 2019/22/07, 14:48
  On this day / at this time this session was last opened or saved.

• Session is active.
  This session is currently open on the Sessionboard you are currently connected to. When a new session is started, the active session is automatically stopped and all participants are disconnected.

• This session is waiting for the transfer.
  You have transferred this session to another cannyboard user via a link. The transfer has not yet been accepted by the recipient. The session cannot be edited. You can only cancel the transfer by selecting the option "Cancel transfer" in the three-point menu. Learn more about Session transfer in this article. 
 
• Session is active and shared.
  This Session is currently open on the Sessionboard to which your personal device is connected. In addition, you have already shared this Session for collaborative editing. Other people can also open this Session and edit it at the same time.
