When you add documents to the Bluescape workspace, think about your participants who will need to access or review that content. Should you have users from various regions on different bandwidth, consider that Bluescape is a service that requires an active internet connection. To enable ease of use to access the document:

  • Upload both the source file (PDF, PPT, Word, etc) to the workspace AND
  • Extract the pages to the workspace

This enables users to do any of the following from the Bluescape workspace:

  1. View and scroll through pages from the source file directly
  2. Alternately users can view each extracted page
  3. Alternately users can download the source document for offline viewing
