How Editions Appear in the Viewer

The Share button in the header opens the published edition, so you can see what a reader sees.

View in Viewer	Opens the edition in the Viewer in a new tab
View edition report	Opens the edition report

Both are disabled until the text and the edition are public — see Publishing an Edition. Hovering a disabled item says which is missing.

What the reader sees, and where it came from

In the Viewer	Comes from
The transliteration	Your akṣaras and their graphemes, in order
Outlines and syllable labels on the image	The polygons you drew
Diplomatic / hybrid / reconstructed	The text-critical marks on each grapheme
Word selection and Token scope	Your tokens
The glossary	Your tokens' lemmas and inflections
The paleography view	Every akṣara instance, cut from its outline
Structure display	Your sequences and their translations
Translation and Chaya tabs	The edition's own translation and chāyā fields
The report masthead	The text, edition, editor, and reference

Things that read differently over there

A few decisions look small in the Editor and loud in the Viewer:

• Outline accuracy. The paleography view is built from cut-outs of your polygons. A generous box around a sign includes its neighbours' strokes, and a chart of loose boxes is not a sign chart.
• The text's Reference. It is what every attestation label in the glossary is keyed to — -22-2:14. Set it on the text.
• Missing lemmas. An unlemmatised token is invisible in the glossary. It still appears in the transliteration, so the gap is easy to miss until you look at the word list.
• Sequence labels. They are the Structure display's headings. Blank ones are fine, but a whole edition of unlabelled units gives the reader nothing to navigate by.

The reader's link

A Viewer link carries the manifest and the edition, and nothing else — not the fragment, zoom, selection, or display mode. To point a colleague at a particular line, send a report link with a line anchor. See Sharing and Citing.
