Viewer

Navigate • Present • Interact

The viewer panel in the Node Workspace is centrally located (A - pink). It can be resized, through resizing or closing the side panels (Node Drive Panel - B, and Metadata Panel - C)

Viewer (A)

All Codex Entitites (artefacts, Nodes profiles, ....) are opened in the Viewer panel, in the centre of the screen. It is both your familiar PDF reader environment, or where information on your selected component is shown. All you need to do is select the component you want to view or download in the Drive panel on the left of the screen.

Both the Drive panel on the left and the Metadata panel on the right play important roles in Nodes and its components. You select and order components in the Drive panel, but you then describe and add metadata to those components in the Metadata panel. They can be tucked away to broaden the viewer window for easier viewing.

PDF Viewer

The Viewer panel has a few options specific to opened PDF files:

• Near the bottom centre of the viewer panel are the zoom controls to zoom in (+), out (-), fit to width ([<>]), and fit to height, ,
• In the same bar, you will find the comment function, in the form of a highlighter . The comment function works as a box-style highlighter/selector in the PDF itself, but lets you add comments - like a sticky note.

Further notes on how Comments work can be found in the Metadata/Comment Panel section.

Adding Annotations in a pdf, resolving to internal Node objects

Currently we have limited recognition of files and might not be able to display them in the viewer. However, from here you will be able to download the components if they are uploaded files, or open the URL if the component is a URL link.
