The Locator Bar

The Locator bar is available in each of your resources and can be found near the top of each panel. It shows your current location in the resource and allows quick navigation. The Close button  closes the Locator bar. 

If the locator bar is not visible, select it from the Resource Panel menu.

The locator bar contains two sections:

• The contents location section shows your current location relative to the table of contents. Each of the items in the location is a link you can use to navigate backward within the resource quickly.

• The navigation choice section shows how the navigation arrows  will move the displayed text (you can also press Alt + up/down (Windows) or Shift + Cmd + up/down (Mac) to navigate using your keyboard).

  Opening the navigation selection allows you to choose between Article, Book, Chapter, and Verse. 

  

   

• Article navigates by pericope in a Bible, heading in commentary, or next entry in a dictionary.

  Note: The following three options only work with books that use Bible indexing.

• Book moves between books in the Bible.
• Chapter navigates from one chapter to another.
• Verse moves from one verse to another.

The Close button  closes the Locator bar. The locator bar can be reopened by accessing the Resource Panel menu.
