Table of Contents
Navigator > Multiple Perspectives
This page presents a series of thumbnails which, when clicked on, open nested pages. There are 4 options for these nested pages, focusing on text, an image, an audio recording or a video recording. While you can embed a link to video hosted elsewhere onto any page in Xerte, this is one of the few page types where the default is to upload the video into Xerte.
Example demo
or view at Xerte Page Types > Navigators: Multiple Perspectives (opens in new tab).
