Sync and the lead device
How one device drives the rest, and what the warning triangle means.
What Sync repeats
With Sync on, the other devices on the Board repeat what you do on one:
- each tap, on the control with the same label, or on the same relative place when no label matches
- each swipe
- typing, keys and hardware buttons
- app, URL and settings commands from the
devicewingcommand or an agent
The lead
The device you touched last is the lead and is marked Lead. Commands from an agent act on the lead. A device that joins the Board opens the lead’s app.
The warning triangle
A device shows a warning triangle when it could not find a control with the same label as the one you touched, so it touched the same place instead. Its tile in the filmstrip says how it followed. Look at its screen before you trust it.
Drive one at a time
Turn Sync off. Each device then only does what you do on it.
