In case your audience enters undesired words that haven't been captured by our Profanity filter, or you simply want to remove addressed input or tidy up the results before exporting your presentation to a PDF, you can remove input from Word Clouds and Open Ended questions. This can be done either in the Mentimote or directly on your presentation screen.

Remove input via Mentimote

When using the Mentimote on a Word Cloud or an Open Ended slide that has received responses from the audience, press "Moderate answers" in the left side panel to open the pop-up where you can see all responses. You can then remove the unwanted answers by pressing the crossed-out circle next to each response.

If you remove something by mistake, you can simply restore it again by pressing the reload icon next to deleted answers, displayed in red at the bottom of the list. You can also restore all responses by pressing the "Reset moderation" button at the bottom of the list.

Remove input in the Presentation view

To remove input on a Word Cloud or Open Ended slide directly in the presentation view:

  1. Start by turning responding off on the slide by clicking the C key in the presentation view.

  2. For the Word Cloud, you can hover over the word and click it to remove it. For the Open Ended slide, you can click the Trash icon on the bottom left of the response boxes.

If you want to restore a removed input from the presentation view:

  1. Start by turning responding off on the slide by clicking the C key in the presentation view.

  2. Hover your mouse over the left side of your slide to open the presentation menu

  3. Click the "Restore removed inputs" button and click on any responses wish to restore.
