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.

Presenter Mode and sharing both work on blueprints, which are ServiceNow records under the x_inpi_ydbp scope. What people see when they open a shared link depends on their role. See Roles and Permissions for details.

How to open Presenter Mode

The same canvas without the editing surface, plus a Share button

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, records, 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.

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.
