Containers are a core building block of Howspace workspaces.
Creating a container
Containers can be created in 'Edit page layout' mode. Just drag a new container with desired specs to the page and fill it with widgets!
Duplicating a container
Containers can be duplicated whether they contain widgets or not. All widgets within the container will be duplicated along with the container itself.
To duplicate a container, open the 'Edit page layout' view and click on the three dots in the corner of the container. Select 'duplicate' and a copy will appear below the original container. Note that Super Chat comments etc. user input will not be duplicated.
Hide and show containers
By hiding and showing containers, you control what your participants see at a given time. The view is updated in real-time, so it's possible to use this feature as a facilitation tool; show and hide content as you please to make the workflow easier to follow and to not make the participants overwhelmed or distracted with too much information available at once.
How to hide container:
Open the Action menu > Edit page layout > click the container's ...-menu > choose Hide
How to show container:
Open the Action menu > Edit page layout > click the container's ...-menu > choose Show
Scheduling container visibility
Container visibility can be scheduled to start and/or end at a selected time.
Open the Action menu > Edit page layout > click the container's ...-menu > choose Schedule visibility > Set your preferred times and save the changes
Admin container
Containers can be hidden from participants. This is a handy feature when an admin wants to have their own instructions on the page or if multiple admins want to have a separate chat in the workspace. Admin container is clearly separated from the rest of the page and can collapse when it's not needed.
Open the Action menu > Edit page layout > click the container's ...-menu > choose Show container to > Admins
Connect containers
Containers can also be connected. Connected containers act as one. You can connect two or more containers together! This is especially useful if you want to hide or show multiple containers at once. Connected containers act as one also in Path mode, where one container is shown per step.
