Settings panel
On this page
The Settings Panel will appear whenever you launch Full Screen Presentation Mode. By default, everything is turned on: that's the Review tab at the top of the panel. You can close the Settings Panel by either clicking the Close button, or by pressing Enter on your keyboard.
Note: The panel switches to the Custom tab as soon as you change any of its options. If you would like a quick way to turn off everything, select the User test tab, which also shows boards at their actual size.
Let's jump into the individual checkboxes on the Settings Panel.
Boards panel checkbox
This checkbox controls the Boards Panel. Unchecking it will hide the Boards Panel while in Full Screen Presentation Mode. Shortcut: J.
Comments checkbox
This checkbox controls the right panel, where the board's comments are shown. Unchecking it hides the right panel while in Full Screen Presentation Mode. Shortcut: C.
Link hints checkbox
This checkbox controls whether or not you would like Full Screen Presentation Mode to display Link Hints. When Link Hints are on, areas that contain links will be displayed with a blue overlay to make them more visible. Shortcut: L.
Big arrow cursor checkbox
This checkbox controls whether or not you want a larger arrow pointer while using Full Screen Presentation Mode. The larger arrow can be useful in situations where the folks you're presenting to aren't close to the presentation screen. Unchecking this box will turn the arrow pointer into the standard pointer for your OS. Shortcut: B.
Zoom settings
The icon next to Zoom switches between two sizes. Zoom to fit, which the Review tab uses, shrinks the presentation so that the largest board in your project fits on the screen, and shows every board at that same scale (it never enlarges them). Zoom to actual size (1:1), which the User test tab uses, shows boards at 100%, so a large board may not fit on the screen. Shortcut: Z.
The Advanced link in the Zoom section will open the Project Centering Rules of your project. You can use those to better center your boards. Leaving an oversized board out of the centering also stops it from shrinking the other boards in Zoom to fit.
Full screen link
The Copy full screen link button copies a link to the project that opens it in Full Screen Presentation Mode, with the settings that you have selected. This is especially useful if you are user testing your boards.
Note: In Balsamiq Cloud, the link respects the project's permissions. This means that only people who have access to the project can use it (unless the project is set to be public).
Note: In Balsamiq for Confluence/Jira Cloud, sharing a link will skip the Atlassian authentication. The created URL is hard to guess but you should know that if someone has the URL, they can access the project in Full Screen Presentation mode.
Note: When using the keyboard shortcuts, no modifier key is required in full screen mode (e.g., just hit L for link hints, not CTRL/⌘+L).
To exit Full Screen Presentation mode, hit ESC. To open the Settings Panel again, hit S.
