React to collaborator with live emoji reaction

View emoji reactions
Reactions that you add appear with a blue background, while reactions added by a collaborator appear with a white background. To view which collaborators added a specific reaction, hover over that reaction.
Organize emoji reactions 
After a brainstorming session, you can use Lucidspark’s Gather tool to easily filter your sticky notes for the most popular ideas to move forward with the best options. You can use emoji reactions as the basis for gathering sticky notes - collect those with a specific reaction, or those that a specific collaborator reacted to.
