BLOX Live e-Edition support 2 different view types of presentations: Non-Segmented and Segmented.
Non-Segmented e-Editions
Non-Segmented e-Editions present the e-Edition as a PDF within the browser. Hamburger and toolbar menus provide options relating to the user-experience, while paging options located at the bottom of the viewer, allow readers to easily jump from one page to another. Navigation arrows are located alongside each page, allowing users to advance pages in sequential order.
Segmented e-Editions
Segmented e-Editions feature segments, clickable areas within the page that are directly linked to assets within BLOX. Segmented e-Editions support two views: Live View and Replica View
Live View
The River of New is prominently featured within the body of the viewer. Pages are linked to assets within the page and displayed within the River of News. Navigation and menu are presented in the same way as non-segmented e-Editions.
Replica View
The Replica View is more true to the original publication.
