Interacting with content on the workspace
When sketchboards, files, sticky notes, web browsers, and text are on a workspace, you show or hide their side menu and interact with them in the following ways.

In Prysm for web and desktop, when you view a workspace that is configured for a larger display, you see a minimap in the lower right corner.
Click and drag on the minimap to scroll to the edges of the workspace that are currently out of view.
In Prysm for rooms, the Touch Menu includes the content and features that you can use in workspaces. From the Touch Menu, you can access project files, launch a web browser, use a sketchboard, add live sources, add notes and text, and exit a project.
- To open the Touch Menu, follow one of these steps:
- Touch a hexagon or the text label to open a workspace item or a sub-menu.
- Touch or click the center hexagon to close the Touch Menu.
The following image shows all the Touch Menu levels as a map so that you can see where each sub-level hexagon connects to other menu options.
In Prysm for rooms only, an on-screen keyboard enables you to type on workspace items such as Sticky Notes and web browsers.
To open the keyboard, select a workspace item that supports typing, including:
To display the keyboard:
- From the side menu, select Keyboard.
- From the side menu, select Typing Off and touch into an area in which you can type, such as a field, search bar, Sticky Note, or Whiteboard.
You can display multiple Prysm keyboards at the same time, but each keyboard is tied to the workspace item it is created for; a keyboard created for a whiteboard can't be moved and used for a web browser.
To move the keyboard:
- Touch and hold the keyboard (outside the key area) and drag it.
