Draw.io for Confluence Cloud - Can you hide the cursor during real-time edition or collaboration?

We are using draw.io for Confluence Cloud and just love the real-time collaboration feature.

Is there maybe a way to hide the cursor? Some team members don’t like to be seen, I guess :smile: .

Hi, I’m glad you like the real-time editing feature in draw.io!

Yes, you can change the cursor visability as follows:

Just click on the menu (top left of screen). Select preferences and here you will see cursor visibility. Here are your options:

  • Show remote mouse cursors – allows you to view your team member’s cursors and toggle them on or off
  • Share mouse cursor – This allows you to control your cursors visibility to others, you can choose to go stealth or opt for 100% visibility.

You can check the blog article Real-time multi-user collaborative diagramming for much more detailed info on this feature and more!
