Abstract

A network node of a collaboration system is provided to establish communication with other network nodes. The network node comprises a display having a physical display space. The network node can store collaboration data and render on the local client screen space a local client canvas having locations in the virtual workspace. The network node includes logic to provide a user interface to display a list of markers representing predefined canvases in both the virtual workspace and another virtual workspace. The predefined canvases defining (i) respective areas in the virtual workspace having a location and (ii) an area in the other virtual workspace having a location. The network node includes logic to respond to an input indicating a selected marker from the list of displayed markers to update the location of the local client canvas to match the location of the predefined canvas represented by the selected marker.
