How do I spotlight a section in a Storm?

Focus the attention of users in your Storm to a specific section with the Section Spotlight feature!

Only the Storm Administrators can spotlight a section.


Storm Administrator(s) can help users focus their attention on a specific section by highlighting the section with the spotlight feature.

Whether you’re presenting, working through an outline, or running a collaboration session, Section Spotlight makes it easier for everyone to be on same page and eliminates possible distractions.

Section Spotlight

To start a spotlight:

  1. Click on "More" and then on ‘Spotlight Section’. Your cursor will change and you can now select an initial section to spotlight. This will focus the position of all Storm users on that section. You will only be able to collaborate and add ideas to the spotlighted area.
