====== Media > Thumbnail Viewer ======

This [[pagetypes|page]] displays a series of images as a ribbon of thumbnails along the top of the page. When the learner clicks on a thumbnail the image displays in a larger size below the ribbon. A lightbox can be added to each image, which appears on mouseover of the image. The lightbox can include text and internal or external links.
