Availability: All plans
Trace runs in a phone or tablet browser, and the workspace rearranges rather than shrinks. The map keeps the screen, and everything that sits in a pane beside it on a desktop moves in front of it instead. Knowing that one rule makes the small layout predictable.
The sidebar becomes a drawer
On a narrow screen the main sidebar collapses behind a menu button. Tapping it slides the sidebar over the page, and the button becomes a close button while it is open. Navigation is otherwise identical.
Panes take the screen, one at a time
On a desktop the project panes sit beside the map. On a phone the pane you open covers the map instead. Two controls handle that.
- A close control on the pane returns you to the map.
- The pane header carries a switcher that jumps straight to any of the project’s ten panes, so you can move between them without going back to the map each time.
Work in one pane at a time and use the switcher to move. Trying to keep two panes in view is a desktop habit that does not carry over.
Upload and export stay reachable
Upload and export do not hide in a menu. They appear as floating buttons over the map, or as icons in the header bar, depending on where you are. On a project you can only view, the upload control is not shown.
Shared plot views
A guest opening a shared plot link on a phone keeps the view toggle, Layers, and View calls. The group of label toggles is dropped at that width. Layers and the call table both stay fully usable, so a guest can still read every call on a phone.
What this is good for
Small screens suit reviewing and showing: opening a plot in the field, reading the calls, checking a boundary against what is in front of you, and sharing a view with someone standing next to you. Typing a long list of calls into the editor is work for a keyboard.
