📖 Opening and Reading a Handbook

1. Navigate to the “Memories” tab in the bottom bar and locate the Memory Handbook shelf;
2. Tap the cover of the handbook you wish to open;
3. Swipe left or right across the screen to turn pages forward or backward;
4. Tap the center of the screen to reveal the reading toolbar; tap again to hide it.

Hiding the toolbar provides an immersive reading experience. When visible, the toolbar shows handbook title, active page index, and action menus. Pinch to zoom in on intricate photo details, and zoom out to view the full page.

Jumping Between Pages

• Drag the Scrubber Bar: Reveal the toolbar and drag the bottom scrubber to skim through pages with live thumbnail previews;
• Overview Grid: Tap “More” > “All Pages” to browse thumbnails of the entire volume and tap any page to jump directly to it.

🗂️ Browsing and Reordering Pages

Opening “More” > “All Pages” displays an overview grid with page numbers and modification dates.

Reordering Pages

1. In the “All Pages” sheet, tap “Reorder”;
2. Drag the grab handle on the right of any row to move the page to its new position;
3. Tap “Done” to save the sequence.

You can also long-press any individual page in the grid to shift it forward or backward by one slot. Reordering immediately updates reading flow and page numbering during export.

Deleting Pages

Tap “Select” in the page grid and choose pages to delete. A handbook must always retain at least one page; selecting all pages disables the delete button until at least one page is unselected.

⚠️ Page Deletion Is Irreversible Deleting a page permanently erases its elements and text. To reuse a layout safely, duplicate the page instead.
