Follow Me (Continuous Syncing)
While the Spotlight function is designed for a one-time glance (like a click), Follow Me is designed for a permanent companion mode ("Ghosting") within a team. This function permanently connects your view (viewport) with the movements of the team member (acting as "Leader"). Every small scroll interaction by the team colleague triggers a real-time navigation inside your editor, smoothed by Lerp interpolation for a natural experience.
This is extremely powerful in meetings, feedback sessions on the phone, or coordination rounds, e.g. when a designer goes through their project proposal and the client or the web developer has to visually follow the presentation's exact paths and decisions.
Start Mode
- Look in the header at the top right for the User Avatars (participants online in the same project).
- Clicking on a colleague's profile picture brings up the menu.
- Select "Follow User" in this context menu.
- Through this process, you are now a "passenger" in the Leader's editor. As soon as they scroll down or up in the browser window, your own browser synchronously moves and dynamically zooms to the Leader's target.
Self-Following (Multi-Tab)
A unique feature is the ability to follow yourself across browser tabs. If you have the same project open in two tabs (e.g., a desktop and a mobile preview), you can activate Follow Mode on your own avatar in the other tab. Your viewport will then automatically synchronize between tabs — ideal for presentations and side-by-side comparisons. The follow indicator will display "Following yourself (other tab)" to clearly distinguish this mode.
Cancelling Follow Me
As easily as you can follow someone, you can also abort this process and disconnect your screen from the team colleague's:
- As soon as you interact manually, e.g., if you touch your mouse wheel, click, or scroll back and forth, the system breaks the "Follow" subscription immediately, disconnecting you from the Leader's screen, so your own work is not hindered by the feature. Note: When self-following, manual scroll does not auto-cancel — since the auto-scroll itself would otherwise trigger a disconnect.
- You can also click on the "Stop following" indicator, which is prominently displayed at the top as long as you are in Follow Mode.
- Pressing ESC will also immediately end Follow Mode.
