The latest guide shows how to add live cursors, so you can track user movement in real time.

Since the launch of our Liveblocks plugin for Bubble, I’ve been ramping up on how-tos to make it easier to self-serve with the plugin. The latest guide focuses on adding live cursors, so you can not only track who’s on the page, but also show where they are in real time.
 
Live cursors allow you to:
  • Track user movement: See where each user’s cursor is as they navigate the page.
  • Show collaborative editing positions: Visualize where users are making edits in real-time.
  • Enhance collaborative experiences: Provide real-time visual feedback for multiple users.
This new how-to guide walks you through setting up live cursors in your Bubble app.
