In the Concordance Desktop viewer, you can zoom, magnify, pan and rotate documents depending on the record type and particular content. For instance, handwritten documents are harder to read online and perhaps illegible in some instances too. Special magnifying tools allow you to read with ease and inspect signature details.

Using Sticky Zoom and Sticky Rotate
Many documents are often scanned with a portrait page view setting, making online reading a challenge unless the page is rotated. The Sticky Zoom and Sticky Rotate settings make reviewing easier by changing the page layout to a landscape view and keeping it there even while navigating between records.
The Sticky Zoom and Sticky rotate functions are located on the View menu:
•Sticky Zoom - keeps your preferred magnification settings as you move from record to record. If you uncheck the selection, and then navigate to the next record, the record defaults to the full page view.
•Sticky Rotate - retains the rotated settings as you page through a record. These settings are especially helpful if you are reviewing a spreadsheet. If you uncheck the selection, and then navigate to the next record, the record defaults its original view.
A check mark next to each option on the Tools menu indicates that this setting is selected. The selections are maintained for the current database when Concordance Desktop Viewer is closed and reopened.
