   • Open an object in the object viewer: In Screen View, double-tap the object.

   • Exit the object viewer: Tap Done in the top-left corner.

When you use the object viewer while collaborating on a document, collaboration pauses until you exit the object viewer.

Many elements that remain visible in Screen View appear or behave differently than they do when Screen View is turned off.

For example, many elements, including tables, charts and body text, are resized to fit the screen. Some other elements behave differently in Screen View, including the following:

• Footnotes appear in the body text, immediately following the paragraph where the item the footnote is referring to is located.

• When a document containing a table of contents is open, a Table of Contents button appears at the bottom of the screen.

• The badge indicating a comment doesn’t appear in the margin where the comment is located.

• All content appears in a single column, regardless of the number of columns in the document.

• Left and right indentations don’t appear.
