A viewed document can host any number of links. The user creates a hyperlink by positioning a dedicated icon over the portion of the viewed document to which information will be linked, or by selecting a mark-up entity and converting it into a hot spot. AutoVue Professional provides all necessary facilities for navigating and managing hyperlinks as well. For example, existing hyperlink definitions may be edited. While the AutoVue product's regular mark-up files are a powerful tool for collaborative work, anyone viewing them is able to edit them.
Some circumstances require another type of mark-up file.
AutoVue Professional recognizes several special types of mark-up files, and provides specific facilities for their management. For example, it may be of key importance that users convey and share information, without risk of accidental or deliberate change. Critical information can be presented using AutoVue Professional's master mark-up feature. Here again, only the author of the master mark-up file will have editing privileges for that file. The mark-up migration feature is currently available when AutoVue Professional is integrated with certain document management systems.
