The Spotlight mode dims the canvas except a soft circle of light that follows your cursor, so a viewer's attention lands on one spot at a time. Choose it from the mode picker at the top of the floating palette.
How it works
As you move the cursor, the circle of light moves with it while everything outside stays dimmed. Left-click grows the circle and right-click shrinks it, so you can match the beam to a single shape or open it up over a whole cluster. This is useful when you are talking through a diagram and want to focus the room on one area before moving on to the next.
Availability
Spotlight is desktop only, and is disabled on an empty canvas. Add an element on a desktop browser and the mode becomes available.
Spotlight works well alongside the Laser Pointer when presenting: dim the rest of the canvas, then point out the detail you want to discuss.
