 <\/p>\n

We\u2019re excited to announce the official launch of our new reader interface, Scalar 2!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The new interface has been completely rebuilt to give your books greater visual impact while making them easier to read, navigate, and edit. Among our new features: an interactive main menu; more robust visualizations; new ways to add media to pages; a new page editor and many more page layouts. For a full list of new features, see the section Scalar 2: What\u2019s New?<\/a> in our User\u2019s Guide<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Interactive Table of Contents<\/i><\/b><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"An interactive table of contents now allows readers to browse the overall structure of a book without ever leaving the current page. Accessed from the top left corner of the header, readers can click on an item\u2019s right arrow to reveal its related content (paths, tags, comments, or annotations). It\u2019s a great way to \u201cwalk\u201d through a book\u2019s paths and sub-paths to get a better sense of their contents.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

New Page Layouts<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

To increase the readability and versatility of Scalar books, we\u2019ve added a number of new layout options to the new interface, including image headers, splash pages, media galleries, maps, and other features. The new Google Map layout, for instance, plots the current page plus any geotagged content it contains or tags on a map embedded at the top of the page. A new “Structured Media Gallery” view organizes media from multiple paths into groups of thumbnails which display their media when clicked.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

Optimized for Mobile Devices<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"Scalar\u2019s new interface has been optimized for reading on tablets and smartphones. Media on smaller screens is now scaled to full width in a compact layout that\u2019s easy to scroll through. What\u2019s more, tablet and mobile readers can now take advantage of the new interactive table of contents to browse the structure of a book while remaining on the current page. Finally, the updated, streamlined page editor now brings Scalar authoring to mobile platforms as well.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n
