Links - References Tab

References are external resources that you would like your audience to view during your presentation playback. You can add references of two types:

• Web References - links to web pages
• File Attachments - links to local files, like .pdf or .xls documents or .jpg images.

The references are available in the Reference tab of the Advanced player and in the Reference window of the Crystal player. Click the Customize button on the Publish window and then enable References in these players.

To manage references:

1. Click the Links button on the iSpring toolbar to open Presentation Links window.
2. All references added to a presentation are listed in the References tab.
   

   
   

   
   To open a selected reference in a new browser window, check the box New Window. To edit and delete a reference, use the icons on the right of the References window.
   You can also test your references accessibility by clicking a reference file path or a URL in the Location column. You can rearrange the references - click Type, Title, Location or New Window column headers to sort the references by a given attribute. To delete all references from your presentation, click the Remove All References button. You will be asked to confirm the deletion.
3. When you have finished managing your references, click OK to save your updates. To quit without saving, click Cancel.
