Changing the orientation of a view

When you first view a site, its navigation view has a wide orientation and its links view has a tall orientation. Both navigation view and links view can appear in both wide and tall orientation.


Wide and tall orientations of a navigation view compared A. Wide orientation B. Tall orientation

Both views use four directions to indicate types of links. For example, in a wide navigation view a page's parent page is above the page.

In wide orientation, a navigation view uses the four directions as follows: Above is the parent page, below is the child page, left is the previous page, and right is the next page. In tall orientation, the parent page is left and the previous page above.

In tall orientation, a links view uses two directions as follows: Left is the incoming link and right is the outgoing link. In wide orientation, the incoming link is above.

To change the orientation of a view:

Do either of the following:

• Click the Toggle Orientation button  on the toolbar.
• In the Navigation tab or Links tab of the View palette, select Tall or Wide.
