In the Viewer, the table of contents (TOC) provides an easy method to navigate the recording. The TOC is automatically generated if a session is recorded with a PowerPoint or Keynote, but can be added manually, or edited to provide the viewer with more information. 
 
 

1. Add a new Entry 

1.1.  To add a new TOC entry, click the Contents tab and select the pointer tool from the top left of the edit timeline (Fig. 1).

2.3.  If you can't see the thumbnails, it's because you have limited desktop space. You can bring them up on smaller screens by choosing the Preview option to the right of the edit timeline (Fig. 6).

2.4.  You can switch back to the main timeline view at any time (Fig. 7). Note: Either of these options will open up the edit window.
