Single-player mode explained

Grout App is designed for unbreakable, distraction-free focus. It strictly operates in single-player mode: one person works on one canvas at a time.

What single-player mode means

• Only one person works on a given canvas at a time.

• There is no real-time multi-cursor collaboration.

• There is no commenting system.

Why it's built this way

Real-time collaboration tools are designed around interruption — cursors moving, comments arriving, notifications pulling your attention. Grout App deliberately leaves these out so your canvas stays a space for deep, sustained, distraction-free work.

Sharing your work instead

Single-player doesn't mean your work is trapped. To get a project to other people you can:

• Export it as a PDF or JPEG for revision or a fixed copy.

• Export it as a GRT for others to edit.

• Use Present Now to deliver it live as a full-screen slideshow.

• Share the Transparency Dashboard so a teacher or manager can review how it was made.

So work is created in focus, then shared deliberately — rather than edited by a crowd in real time.
