Event classroom - accessing participant workspace improvements
👋 Hello from the Heropa team! We’ve made some changes to the Event Classroom UI to improve the host and instructor experience—and to help avoid accidentally interrupting participants who are actively working in their environments.
What’s new in the event classroom
- "View Workspace" button moved to the dropdown: To reduce confusion and avoid unintentional disconnections, the View Workspace option that was previously available when hovering on a participant tile has been moved to inside the tile dropdown menu—away from the primary action area. View workspace takes control of the workspace being viewed - this is not normally intention of the host and as such removing it as the default hover option will help to avoid user disconnection.
- View Workspace confirmation: When selecting View Workspace, you’ll now see a confirmation modal to help prevent accidentally taking over a student’s session. Again, this was implemented to protect active users.
- Context-aware dropdown actions: The tile dropdown now shows actions based on the user and environment status, and we’ve reordered the options for improved clarity and consistency.
- New Hide option: We’ve added a quick Hide option to the tile dropdown so you can easily remove seats from view without needing to adjust visibility settings separately.
We hope these improvements help you manage your sessions more confidently. As always, we’d love to hear what you think!
