Showing visibility check boxes in Title Explorer

Choose whether to show visibility check boxes in the Title Explorer. The Title Explorer will display an enabled check box graphic () next to an object that is visible. To turn the visibility of an object off, click the corresponding check box to disable it (). The object will be made invisible within the work area. This could be helpful when working with multiple objects layered on a page. For example, suppose you have two hyperlinks on a page that will display the definitions of the hyperlinked words. You might want these definitions to appear in the same place on the page, but only once the user has clicked on the corresponding hyperlink. To make it easy to work with these definitions, you can uncheck the visibility icon for one of them, while working with the other, and vice versa. The visibility icons do not affect your title’s functionality while viewing it in Run or Preview mode, and do not affect the published title.

Visibility states are preserved between sessions.

To enable the visibility-state icon in the Title Explorer:

Select Lectora Preferences from the File ribbon. The Preferences window opens.
Enable the Show visibility check boxes in the Title Explorer check box.
Click OK.

The visibility state icon is enabled in the Title Explorer. While in Edit mode, an open eye displays the corresponding object on the page. A closed eye conceals the corresponding object from view. Visibility states are preserved between sessions.
