Should dancers edit formations on mobile?
Usually not. Dancers benefit most from reviewing current positions and updates. Captains and choreographers should handle the main formation editing workflow on desktop.
Product workflow
Desktop vs mobile formation planning
Formation planning breaks when everyone uses the wrong surface for the job. Captains need a full stage editor on desktop. Dancers need a current mobile view of their spot. Screenshots fail because they go stale immediately.
- Build and edit formations on desktop.
- Use mobile for dancer review and recall.
- Publish one current version instead of sharing stale screenshots.

Frequently asked questions
Why are screenshots bad for formation teaching?
They go stale the moment one spot changes, and different dancers often save different versions. A live published routine keeps everyone on the same map.
