Curation
Curation is how you organize and prioritize content during a live event. In the Producer, items move through a series of columns — each representing a stage in your workflow.
The columns
Section titled “The columns”The Producer uses a kanban-style layout with five columns:
Incoming → Preparing → Presenting → Used ↘ Rejected| Column | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Incoming | Where new items arrive — audience questions land here, and newly created content starts here. |
| Preparing | Your staging area. Drag items here to review, edit, and reorder before showing them. |
| Presenting | Your “on deck” queue. Items here are visible on the Presenter View. |
| Used | Archive for items that have already been shown. |
| Rejected | Items you’ve dismissed or don’t want to use. |
Moving items between columns
Section titled “Moving items between columns”There are two ways to move items:
- Drag and drop — grab a card and drop it into any column.
- Context menu — right-click a card (or click the ••• menu) and select Move to to pick a column.
Within the Preparing and Presenting columns, you can also drag cards up and down to reorder them. The other columns maintain their own ordering and don’t support manual reordering.
A typical curation flow
Section titled “A typical curation flow”- Questions arrive in the Incoming column as attendees submit them
- Review and triage — drag good questions to Preparing, reject off-topic ones to Rejected
- Stage your queue — reorder items in Preparing to plan your sequence
- Move to Presenting — drag items to Presenting when you’re ready to feature them
- Go Live — hit the Go Live button to show an item on the Display View and Activity Feed
- Advance — use Next to move through your queue, automatically archiving used items
- Collapse columns you’re not using (click the chevron) to focus on what matters right now
- You can skip the Preparing column entirely — drag straight from Incoming to Presenting if you’re comfortable going faster
- Items can move backwards too — drag something from Used back to Preparing if you want to revisit it
- The Activity Feed toggle on each card is independent of columns — an item can be in any column and still appear (or not) in the feed
