How to activate and deactivate phases as an exercise progresses.

Phases are always shown in the menu, but deactivated phases cannot be clicked on (as shown by the mouse icon).
You can control the phases using the Admin menu in the top right of the screen.
Click on the name of the phase you wish to activate / deactivate. Phases highlighted green are currently enabled; red means they are currently disabled.
Also available is a dedicated, touch friendly, control panel. This is accessed at the url https://xxx/status-board
Each phase appears in a seperate box; click on the buttons within each box to activate / deactivate that phase.

How to see which teams have submitted their responses and display them for review.

Use the Admin menu in the top right of the screen to access the Submissions page.
Each phase that contains a the ability for a user to submit content appears as a tab. Clicking on a tab will display the current submissions.
If there are multiple tasks within a phase they will be shown separately.
Each submission is displayed in the Team’s colours. Click on a submission to display the content.
Interactive Twitter content is displayed as a timeline that only shows replies from the Teams.
As new submissions are received, they are automatically added to the screen.

Drafting, publishing and managing tweets in an Interactive Twitter phase.

While a facilitator can write a Tweet using the main compose box, this will publish the tweet as the logged in user which is not normally desirable.
Instead, click on the Control button to access the facilitators interface.
Choose the Author you want to create the tweet as. Authors are split into groups based on their assigned type.
Compose the tweet, and choose whether to publish it immediately, or save it as a draft for later.
A large number of drafts can be stored for quick publishing during the phase.
If a tweet is accidentally published / incorrect, it can be deleted.
