Projecting resolutions

Projection staff put on the screen whatever the meeting is dealing with, so the room can read it: the resolution, the amendment being moved, the resolution as amended. You work from the Items page on a laptop. The projector shows the Projection page, which changes the moment you choose something else.

  • Opens from Resolutions, while the meeting is in session
  • Signed in as staff whose role can control projection
  • Tested on a laptop, with the projector as a second screen
How do I…?

Your responsibilities

  • Have the screen ready on the projector before the meeting starts.
  • Put up what the chair calls, as it is called: the resolution, the amendment being moved, or the resolution as amended.
  • Keep the text where the room is reading it, scrolling as it is read.
  • Keep it readable from the back of the room.
  • Clear the screen when nothing is before the meeting, and whenever the chair asks.
  • Show only what the meeting is dealing with: nothing confidential, nothing ahead of its turn.

  2. Find a resolution
  3. Put a resolution on the screen
  4. Show an amendment, or the resolution as amended
  5. Scroll the screen as it is read
  6. Make the text bigger or smaller

  8. Clear the screen

Put the screen on the projector

  1. In the meeting’s side menu, choose Projection. It opens in a new tab.
  2. Drag that tab out into a window of its own, and move the window onto the projector’s screen.
  3. Choose Fullscreen, at the bottom right.

The screen reads “No Resolution Projected” until you put something on it. Leave that window alone during the meeting, and work from the Items page in your own.

All tasks

Find a resolution

  1. Open Resolutions in the meeting.
  2. Type its number, a few words of its text or its mover’s name in Search number, text, or mover.
  3. Choose its row. Its details open on the right.

To narrow the list instead, use All types and All statuses above it.

All tasks

Put a resolution on the screen

  1. Find the resolution, and choose its row.
  2. Choose Project R-3, with its own number, at the top of its details.

The button turns red and reads Projecting R-3, and the projection controls appear at the foot of the page. Choosing another resolution’s Project button replaces what is on the screen.

All tasks

Show an amendment, or the resolution as amended

  1. Put the resolution on the screen.
  2. Open the projection controls: choose Projecting at the left of the bar at the foot of the page. The resolution’s amendments are listed under it.
  3. To show an amendment while it is moved, choose Project R-3 A1, with its number.
  4. To show the resolution with an amendment’s changes made, choose Project R-3 as amended by A1.

What is on the screen is marked in red. Choose Project R-3, at the top of the list, to go back to the resolution.

All tasks

Scroll the screen as it is read

  1. Choose the down arrow to move the text down a step, and the up arrow to move it back.
  2. To scroll steadily while it is read, choose 1x, 2x or 3x, from slowest to fastest.
  3. Choose pause to stop it.
  4. Choose the arrow to the line to go back to the top.
All tasks

Make the text bigger or smaller

  1. In the projection controls, choose one of the three As: for a small, medium or large room.
  2. For a size in between, choose the gear for Projection Settings, and change Content Font Size with − and +.

Check from the back of the room. The size holds for everything you project after.

All tasks

Choose what the screen shows

  1. In the projection controls, choose the gear for Projection Settings.
  2. Find the column for what you are showing: When Showing Items, When Showing As Adopted (a resolution as amended) or When Showing Amendments.
  3. Switch each part on or off, and use the arrows beside it to change the order.
  4. Switch on Split View to show the parts in two columns.

The screen changes as you go. Hide Header, under Display, takes the whole header off the top: the meeting’s name, the number, the mover and the seconder.

All tasks

Clear the screen

  1. In the projection controls, choose Clear.

The screen shows only the meeting’s name and “No Resolution Projected”. The amendments stay listed in the controls, so you can put one straight back; choose Dismiss to put them away.

All tasks

The screen, explained

The Items page, the projection controls at its foot, and the screen the room sees.

Resolutions

The Items page

Every resolution in the meeting, with a search box and filters above the list. Choosing one opens its details on the right, with Project at the top.

A resolution, found

The search finds a resolution by number, by its words or by its mover. The Project button carries the resolution’s number, so you can see what you are about to show.

The foot of the Items page

The projection controls

Once something is on the screen, a bar at the foot of the page says what, who put it there, and when. Choose Projecting to open it, and again to fold it away.

Folded away

The bar alone, with every control you need while a resolution is read.

Opened

Opened, it lists the resolution’s amendments, an amendment to an amendment set in under its own.

On the bar, from the left: the three As set the size of the text for a small, medium or large room. The arrows move the text up or down a step; 1x, 2x and 3x scroll it steadily, and pause stops them; the arrow to the line goes back to the top. Clear empties the screen, and the gear opens Projection Settings.

The projection controls, opened

Amendments

Each amendment has two buttons: one shows the amendment itself, the other the resolution with its changes made.

An amendment

Project R-3 A1 puts the amendment up while it is moved and debated.

What the room sees

The screen names the amendment above its text.

The resolution as amended

Project R-3 as amended by A1 shows the resolution with the amendment’s changes made, before the vote on the main motion.

What the room sees

Marked As amended, with the amended text.

Projection, full screen

The screen the room sees

The meeting’s name at the top, then the resolution’s number, its mover and seconder, a box with its details, and its text. Everything changes the moment you choose something else on the Items page.

A resolution

The details box shows what your organization records for each resolution: its section, page, majority needed, sponsor and reference.

Scrolled

The header stays put as the text scrolls under it.

The large-room size

Fewer words to a line, for the back of a large hall.

Without the details box

With Resolution Metadata switched off in Projection Settings, the text starts at the top.

The gear in the projection controls

Projection Settings

What the screen shows, for each kind of thing you project, and how.

Projection Settings

Display holds the size of the text, Hide Header, and Caption Spacing, which keeps a band clear at the top or the foot of the screen, at the height and colour you choose, for captions shown over it. Each column after it lists the parts of the screen for a resolution, a resolution as amended and an amendment: Resolution Metadata (the details box), Content (the text), Diff (the changes marked), Original, Motion Text and Proposed Changes. The arrows set their order, and Split View puts them in two columns.

Screens from Govo’s test site, 3 November 2026, showing an invented organization and meeting. They show the Items page and the projection controls; the menus around them depend on each person’s role.
