Click Settings in the TOC panel.

Use the Enable Navigation toggle.

Enable or disable preview

The Preview panel shows how the TOC looks every time you make edits in the TOC Settings or the TOC Information

dialog boxes. Previewing helps you explore various options before you arrive at one that best suits your requirements.

If you have already decided on the settings for the TOC, you can disable this option in the corresponding dialog box.

Select Project > Table Of Contents.

Click Settings. The TOC Settings dialog box appears.

Deselect Auto Preview.

Allow users to resume sessions

In a self-paced learning scenario, you can set an option to allow users to resume viewing a project from where they left

off earlier. The status flag is not reset after the project is closed. When the user plays the movie again, the project

resumes playing from the first slide that is not flagged.

Select Project > Table Of Contents.

Click Settings in the TOC panel.

Select Self-Paced Learning.

Save the TOC settings as a part of the theme

Changes to the TOC settings, along with other skin settings such as playback controls and borders can be saved as a

theme. The save themes then can be reused in other projects.

After you change the TOC panel and other options in the Skin dialog box, click the save icon.

Enter a unique name for the theme and click OK.

Preview projects

Plays only the current slide.
