# Navigate through the Publication Viewer

In the viewer mode, you can navigate through the publication in any of the following ways:

### Arrow keys

Use arrow keys on your keyboard to navigate through the pages. Here is what each arrow key means:

**Left arrow key** - Moves to the previous page  
**Right arrow key** - Moves to the next page  
**Up arrow ke**y - Moves to the first page  
**Down arrow key** - Moves to the last page

### Page arrows

The ones on the publication's right and left sides help you move to the previous and next pages.

 

Page Overview

You can use the **Page Overview** option in the following way:

1. Click the **Contents** icon on the left sidebar.
2. Look through the pages of the publication and pick the one you need.

**Note:** If you don't see the icon there, it means the publisher disabled this functionality.

![](https://help.joomag.com/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/joomag.intercom-attachments-7.comio40041450193e49631868bd6c1a295333e1XvceqZWpAYP1c5WUO_mEOH55Q-rWtbkh-e=download-1.gif)

Or else, you can click **Show Pages **to see the page thumbnails. Click on the page you need to view. To hide the panel, click **Hide Pages**

### The Progressbar

The page you already view will be underlined/highlighted![](https://help.joomag.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Jul-08-2024-02-39-05-4912-PM.png?width=688&height=37&name=image-png-Jul-08-2024-02-39-05-4912-PM.png)

The page you are currently viewing is highlighted with more radiant color:![](https://help.joomag.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Jul-08-2024-02-39-41-0450-PM.png?width=688&height=161&name=image-png-Jul-08-2024-02-39-41-0450-PM.png)

If you click on an internal hyperlink and get directed to a new page, the **Back to page** button will appear. This button allows you to easily return to your original location within the publication.

### Viewer Default Buttons

**Pin/Hide Sidebar**

![](https://help.joomag.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Jul-08-2024-02-53-18-9746-PM.png?width=278&height=82&name=image-png-Jul-08-2024-02-53-18-9746-PM.png)

![](https://help.joomag.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Jul-08-2024-02-53-54-3835-PM.png?width=298&height=84&name=image-png-Jul-08-2024-02-53-54-3835-PM.png)

Clicking **Hide Sidebar** will collapse the left sidebar of the viewer. If you choose **Pin Sidebar** the sidebar will remain open for easy access.

💡 When you hover over the hidden sidebar, it will automatically expand, and it will collapse back when the mouse is not hovering over it.

💡 To hide or pin the sidebar, simply press and hold the **R** key on your keyboard.

 

**Take a tour**

![](https://help.joomag.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Jul-08-2024-03-11-52-5075-PM.png?width=274&height=80&name=image-png-Jul-08-2024-03-11-52-5075-PM.png)

Clicking on the **Take a tour** button located on the sidebar will activate an overlay that provides step-by-step instructions on how to navigate through the viewer.

 

To close the overlay click on the **Exit tour** button.

 

**FullScreen**

To enlarge the viewer to full screen, simply click **FullScreen**. To exit full screen mode, you can either click the same button again or press the **Esc** key on your keyboard.

 

**Zoom**

**![](https://help.joomag.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Jul-08-2024-03-50-45-3813-PM.png?width=260&height=92&name=image-png-Jul-08-2024-03-50-45-3813-PM.png)**

Use the magnifier icon to zoom in or out on the content using the plus (+) and minus (-) signs

 

### Additional navigation buttons

**Open in New Tab**

This button is available only in the embedded viewer. 

![](https://help.joomag.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Jul-08-2024-04-17-31-9429-PM.png?width=436&height=182&name=image-png-Jul-08-2024-04-17-31-9429-PM.png)

By clicking on this button, the publication viewer will open in a new tab of your browser, giving you the option to navigate away from the current one.

**Article View**

**![](https://help.joomag.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Jul-08-2024-04-27-16-4664-PM.png?width=356&height=114&name=image-png-Jul-08-2024-04-27-16-4664-PM.png)**

**![](https://help.joomag.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Jul-08-2024-04-27-47-1951-PM.png?width=450&height=100&name=image-png-Jul-08-2024-04-27-47-1951-PM.png)**

When articles are available on the pages, a button will be displayed for Article View.

To read the articles on the page, click **Article View.** When you're done reading, just click on **Back to Publication** to exit the article mode.

That's it! Now you are familiar with the primary navigation buttons of Joomag viewer!
