# Play (/docs/presenting/play)

**Play** plays the story from the start. You stand in for the audience: when an interaction's voting window opens, click the outcome you want before it closes. For a slider, drag it; for text, type a test answer.

| To | Do |
| --- | --- |
| Play or pause | **Space** |
| Next or previous shot | **→** and **←** |
| Test one branch | On the board, right-click a sequence and choose **Play from here**. |
| Play from the top again | **Restart**. It forgets your choices. |
| Watch fullscreen | **Fullscreen**. **Esc** leaves it. |

The path you pick in Play is used by the [master timeline](/docs/writing/timeline#the-master-timeline). It doesn't change the story.
