Q: What does Browse Mode mean?
Click this icon for a picture view of each page — it’s just like looking at the print edition newspaper. Use the left and right arrows to browse through the pages. Click the Browse icon a second time to zoom in on a page.
Hover over the Browse icon to access a menu where you can further control your Browse viewing mode. Select the 1x or 2x viewing option; optionally also “lock” that option.
1x: Single click/tap on the page image will zoom in or out. Double click/tap will open the content in Index viewing mode.
2x: Double click/tap on the page will zoom in or out. Single click/tap will open the content in Index viewing mode.
Locked: Enabling the “lock” will prevent your ability to click/tap on content in Browse mode and have it open in Index mode. If you prefer to read all pages in our graphical Browse mode, you may choose to “lock” the mode so that you do not accidentally cause the system to switch to Index viewing mode. Even if “locked,” you can still open content in the Index viewing mode by selecting the Index icon from the main control bar on the right.
Q: How do I switch pages in Browse Mode?
Press the arrows on the right and left sides of the page to switch pages. You can also use the scroll wheel on your mouse or touch pad to scroll the page and it will change pages once you reach the bottom of the current page.

Clicking on an area of the page image displayed on the left side will load that content into the right side. Pressing the arrows on the right and left sides of the page image will change pages.
Q: Can I print the article I’m viewing, or share it with someone else?
Yes! When an article is loaded for viewing in the right side of the screen, several control icons will appear above it. The Print icon offers a quick way to print. The Share icon will open a Sharing menu that allows you to select from several methods (Email, print, Facebook, Twitter, etc).

In the same control area as the Share icon, you will find icons to decrease or increase the text size, to listen to the article, and to switch between graphical and text displays of the article.
