Adding dynamic browser content to your workspace is useful when you want to upload web pages, such as interactive 3D web models or web-hosted videos. If you want to view web content side-by-side, you can add multiple browsers to the same workspace.
Adding live websites to your workspace:
-
Select
(Add content). -
Select
(Web).
-
Manually type or paste the address of the website in the text field of the Add Website window.
-
Press Enter or Return on your PC or Mac keyboard, respectively, or click the Add website button.
Note: Due to limitations on running a browser within a browser, many external sites are not navigable within the Web, though they are on the Bluescape app for desktops and large displays. Navigable sites have both HTTPS and iFrame enabled. Enter HTTPS versions of URLs because auto-redirects from HTTP might not work. -
A still preview of the website displays, highlighted with a blue boundary box and the toolbar open.
-
Select open to open the website in a new browser tab. Alternatively, you can:
- Select
(More), then select Open link in new Window. - Select
(New tab).
- To capture an image of the browser window, select
(Capture). The image can be acted upon as any other workspace asset, including annotating.
Note: Subsequent navigation that you do within the browser window does not sync to other members.
Editing a URL
Each browser element in the workspace has its own address bar. To navigate to a different site or truncate a long URL, edit the URL in the address bar.
-
Select the browser window.
-
Select the URL field in the toolbar.
-
Edit the URL.
-
When you are finished, press Enter or Return on your PC or Mac keyboard, respectively.
Deleting a Window
-
Select the browser window.
-
Do one of the following:
- Press the Delete key on your keyboard
- Select (More), then select Delete.
You’re ready to open your workspace and add live websites!
