Using the Mobile App as an Extra Screen for Hands-on Labs

When you're completing a hands-on lab, you might discover that you could use a second screen. A second screen lets you read the instructions of the lab without navigating away from the platform where you are completing the lab steps.

You can use the mobile app as a second screen. You do not complete the steps of the lab on your mobile device. Instead you follow the steps of the lab through the app while using your laptop or desktop computer to complete the steps in the web platform. You can even initiate validation checks through the mobile app.

If you open the lab in your mobile device first and tab Start Lab, a message appears with a link to the lab. You can copy this link and send it to your computer through instant messaging or email. When you click the link on your computer, the same lab opens for you to start.

Once the lab is started, you see the steps on your mobile device. You can read the instructions while following the steps on your computer. You can progress through the steps and start step validation through the mobile app.
