Masking
Hiding sensitive information from following-participants
By using Surfly's masking features, you can ensure that confidential information remains private during collaborative sessions. Surfly provides two masking features, Field Masking and Element Masking:
Field Masking allows you to conceal specific form fields from following-participants, preventing them from viewing the tab-owner's input. Credit card and password fields are automatically masked by default. You can add the surfly_private attribute to other fields containing sensitive information, but this will require making simple code changes to your website/application.
<span>Email address</span>
<input type="text" size="20" surfly_private>Element Masking allows you to hide entire HTML elements from followers by including their CSS selectors in the hide_element_by_selector option. It does not require any alterations to the web-application's code, and as such, it can be employed on third-party websites as well. You can set it up through the Surfly dashboard or the Javascript API.
