Briefcase Button

Tapping on the briefcase will show a popover with all the other contents within the instance. Click on any title to jump to that content.

Important: The difference between going back to the home screen and launching other content and accessing over the briefcase button is, once you close the newly launched content, if you launch via the briefcase, you'll be back to the point where you left.

This jumping method can come in handy for answering questions.

The binocular button menu allows the user to jump between the slides of the same presentation and see an overview of the whole flow.

Any slide can be searched using the search bar.
Tap on the Chapters button to see a list of chapters
You can swipe your finger over the images for a step by step navigation.
You can also swipe your finger over the numbers for a quick jump.
Two dots allows you to navigate between slides and chapters.

Chapters Menu

If chapters are defined for your presentation, you'll see a list of all of them. Unless they're defined, you'll only see standard access methods, namely 'Beginning', 'Middle', and 'End'. These links will take you to the aforementioned parts of the presentation.

Important: After you click on a chapter, if you'd like to come back to the slide where you jumped, you can use the 'Go Back' button. Again, this can be useful for answering questions.

Linked Content

The linked content button can be enabled/disabled for your content. On pages where there are linked content, you'll see this button is enabled.
Tapping on it will bring a dock view from the bottom of the screen with thumbnails and links to different content within the application. To access the linked content, double tap on the document's thumbnail.
The relevant pages are set by your content administrator, and they give easy access to other documents (and certain pages within them) when faces with a question or for example a reference is needed.
The linked content dock view can be closed by tapping on the cross icon.

Navigation within the Linked Content Drawer

If more items are linked, user can swipe the items to the left to see more.

Closing the Presentation

When the home button is clicked, Pitcher will check if the user has saved any slide notes before. If the user has saved it, it would ask the user’s permission to Send annotated pages as PDF or save annotated pages on camera roll or send all the pages as PDF. The user can alternatively, choose to delete the saved items.
