Table of Contents
Navigator > Multinavigator
This page provides 5 options for organising information on a page. When learners click on an item it brings up content (text, images etc.) in the right-hand panel. When they click on another item in the list, the content is replaced with new content.
The content and clickable items are inputted in the same way for all 5 options, so you only have to do this once, and then you can experiment and decide on the most appropriate format afterwards.
Example demo
This demo shows the (default) Tabs option, but this, and examples of the other 4 options, can also be opened in new tabs through the links below the demo. All the demos have the same content.

Further information
The Accordion format may work well if you want to create FAQs, because longish questions will probably display better than in Buttons or Tabs for example.
