Learning to Use Scalar

Link your pages

Scalar uses "paths" to help readers navigate projects. Paths are created by linking pages together to create "relationships." Pages can also be added to the menu, so you can see them using the navigation at the top of the screen. This workshop will walk you through the creation of a single two-page path, but of course paths can branch, extend, circulate, and come back together again.

Create a path

Edit your splash page

To locate the page, navigate to the dashboard using the icon that looks like a wrench. Then navigate to "pages" to view a list of the pages you have created.
Find the page you're working on, and then click the link under the URL column.
Select the "pencil" icon to edit.

Create a path

Open the "relationships" drop-down menu at the bottom of the page, and click "path"
Click on the link "choose the item that it contains"
Click on "pages" and then select your home page.
Save and View

Create a Table of Contents

The table of contents is a list of the pages that shows up in the drop-down menu at the top of the screen.

Use the "wrench" button to navigate to the dashboard.
In "book properties" select "add table of contents item"
Add the two pages that you've created.
Click "save" at the bottom of the screen
Click "back to project" in the upper right hand corner of the screen to see your completed project!
