the history page

Hovering over a traffic-light shows its diff summary in a tool-tip.
Clicking on a traffic-light opens the history-view.
For example, this is the history-view for heron's 32nd traffic light.

avatar navigator

Moves you to different animals. Only visible in a group exercise.

the left-arrow moves to the previous animal.
the right-arrow moves to the next animal.
when the diff checkbox is checked, moving to another animal moves to their first traffic-light.
when the diff checkbox is unchecked, moving to another animal moves to their last traffic-light.

traffic-light navigator

Moves you forward and backward through the traffic-lights.

the small left-arrow moves to the first traffic-light.
the larger left-arrow moves to the previous traffic-light.
the current traffic-light in the current colour (eg 32 green).
the larger right-arrow moves to the next traffic-light.
the smaller right-arrow moves to the last traffic-light.

not available from a dashboard review.

the dashboard page

Each row corresponds to one avatar and displays, from left to right:

the avatar. Click to open a history page in non-diff mode showing their current code.

a pie-chart indicating the total number of red,amber,green traffic-lights so far.

total number of traffic-lights (in the most recent traffic light's colour). Click to open the history view in non-diff mode showing the animals current code.

oldest-to-newest traffic-lights. Click on any traffic-light to open a history view showing the diff for that traffic-light for that animal.

when checked the dashboard auto-refreshes every ten seconds.
turn auto-refresh on during the coding.
turn auto-refresh off during the review.

when unchecked the traffic-lights of different animals are not vertically time-aligned.
when checked each vertical column corresponds to one minute and contains all the traffic-lights created by all the animals in that one minute.
if no animals press their button during one minute the column will contain no traffic-lights at all (instead it will contain a single dot and be very thin).

If available, displays slightly more information about the most recent non-amber traffic-light of each animal, usually the number of passing and failing tests.
