Pattern Decisions This Source Supports
| Pattern | Supported decision | Required contract | Claim note |
|---|---|---|---|
| Live cursors | Choose live cursors when users need immediate spatial awareness of other collaborators' current pointer, caret, selection, viewport, or focus inside the same shared surface. | Sending cursor data updates ephemeral awareness state with coordinate, target, viewport, selection, identity, color, timestamp, and visibility preference, not the saved document content. | Figma cursor chat documents temporary live messages attached to a user's cursor for quick communication in a shared design file. |
