Open a sample in read-only mode

Overview

A sample can be opened in read-only mode which restricts the actions of the user in the interface.

How it works

The read-only mode disables the following actions in the interface:

• All annotation hotkeys (draw, edit, copy/paste...)

• Any action implying a modification

  • Creating or modifying objects and keyframes

  • All destructive actions (delete, merge, split tracks)

• Saving a sample

The user can still:

• View and browse the annotations

• Use navigation, camera controls, display toggle and selection hotkeys

• View and create issues

• Modify its visualization settings in the right sidebar

How to use the read-only mode

There are two ways to trigger the read-only mode:

• Assign the Viewer role from the dataset Collaborators settings page (More information about roles settings here). Opening a sample with this user role will enforce the read-only mode.

• Manually open a sample in read-only mode from the Samples tab, by clicking on the eye icon on one of listed samples at mouse hover.

Note that while using the read-only mode manually, the web page URL is appended with the query parameter readOnly=true . It can be useful to share a link using the read-only mode. However, if you refresh the page, the read-only mode is not used by default (except when in the Viewer role, as described above).

Viewers cannot edit annotations, use labeling shortcuts, or modify any dataset settings.
