# Presenter Mode and Sharing

Two ways to share. One way to present.

Presenter Mode is the read-only view that lets you walk people through a blueprint without risking accidental edits. It is built for workshops, approvals, status reviews, and leadership presentations.

{% hint style="info" %}
Presenter Mode and sharing both work on blueprints, which are ServiceNow records under the [`x_inpi_ydbp`](/blueprints/start-here/roles-and-permissions.md) scope. What people see when they open a shared link depends on their role. See [Roles and Permissions](/blueprints/start-here/roles-and-permissions.md) for details.
{% endhint %}

## How to open Presenter Mode

You can open Presenter Mode from the blueprint actions on Home by selecting **Present**.

Blueprint Viewers also land in Presenter Mode automatically when they open a blueprint.

## Presenter Mode versus Blueprint Editor

| Capability                                  | Presenter Mode | Blueprint Editor            |
| ------------------------------------------- | -------------- | --------------------------- |
| Inspect tables, elements, and relationships | Yes            | Yes                         |
| Zoom and pan the canvas                     | Yes            | Yes                         |
| Review blueprint metadata                   | Yes            | Yes                         |
| Open compliance details                     | Yes            | Yes                         |
| Edit fields or metadata                     | No             | Yes, if your role allows it |
| Stage relationship changes                  | No             | Yes, if your role allows it |
| Move or resize table cards                  | No             | Yes, if your role allows it |
| Save or commit                              | No             | Yes, if your role allows it |

## Edit button for users with access

If your role allows blueprint editing, Presenter Mode can offer an **Edit** action so you can switch back into the **Blueprint Editor** when needed.

## Sharing options

Blueprints can be shared from Home, from blueprint actions, or directly from the **Share** button in the Presenter Mode toolbar.

Common sharing actions are **Copy link** and **Share via email**. These are useful when you want to send someone directly to the correct blueprint without asking them to search for it first.

## Role-based behavior when sharing

The same link can behave differently depending on the user. Blueprint Template Editors, Blueprint Editors, and Blueprint Committers open the blueprint in the **Blueprint** **Editor**. Blueprint Viewers see the read-only Presenter Mode experience instead.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Restricted data behavior**

In viewer-restricted sessions, technical identifiers that should not be exposed can appear as **Access restricted** instead of raw system values. This makes Presenter Mode safer for broader audiences.

**When to reach for Presenter Mode**

* Stakeholder walkthroughs
* Architecture reviews
* Compliance review meetings
* Business process discussions
* Any session where accidental edits would be a problem
