In viewer mode, you can navigate through a publication in the following ways.

Arrow keys

Use arrow keys on your keyboard to navigate:

  • Left arrow — previous page

  • Right arrow — next page

  • Up arrow — first page

  • Down arrow — last page

Page arrows

The arrows on the left and right sides of the publication move to the previous or next page.

Page Overview

Use the Page Overview to jump directly to any page:

  1. Click the Contents icon on the left sidebar.

  2. Browse the page thumbnails and click the one you need.

Note: If the Contents icon is not visible, the publisher has disabled this feature.

You can also click Show Pages to display page thumbnails in a panel. Click a page to navigate to it. Click Hide Pages to close the panel.

The Progress Bar

The progress bar at the bottom highlights pages you have already viewed. The current page is shown with a more prominent highlight.

If you click an internal hyperlink and are directed to another page, a Back to page button appears so you can return to your original location.
