How does a Board Zoom work?

Zooming is an essential feature for exploring and interacting with the elements of your Klaxoon Board more precisely.

💡 Updated on 27/08/2024: the zoom adapts according to the size of the user's screen and the content of the Board to avoid uncontrolled or unwanted zooming out.

The changes in detail:

  1. If the Board is empty, the zoom cannot go below 30% to avoid creating ideas that are too small by mistake.

  2. If the content of your Board occupies less than 40% of the width or height of the screen in the zoom range between 1% and 30%, the zoom is automatically blocked to avoid zooming out below this level.

  3. If the content of your Board takes up 40% or less of the screen in the zoom range between 30% and 1000%, you cannot zoom out below 30%, even if you are in a wider zoom range.


1 - Accessing the zoom


From your Board, access the options at bottom right (indicated by a red frame below).


2 - Zoom out and in

With a single click, you can zoom out with the "-" and zoom in with the "+".


For touch devices:

Zoom in ➡ Spread two fingers across your screen or use your mouse wheel upwards

Zoom out ➡ Bring two fingers together on your screen or use your mouse wheel downwards

💡 For more precise zooming, hold down the "ctrl" key on your keyboard + your mouse wheel


3 - Advanced options


Click on the "v" symbol to access the advanced options:

  • "Zoom to selection" displays the selected element

  • "Zoom to fit board" displays the entire page

  • "Zoom to..." adjusts the view according to Board content

In addition, three levels of Zoom are easily accessible: 50%, 100% and 200%.


4 - Zoom in presenter mode


In presenter mode, when you're sharing your Board with other participants, you can also use zoom to dynamically highlight specific elements.
