Point Hotspot Viewer Mode -
Double-click anywhere within the Viewer to add a point hotspot. A red target icon, will appear representing this point.
★ The current hotspot (that is being edited) is red and its settings can be edited in the Properties. A non-active hotspot is blue.

You can also drag videos, YouTube URLs, Vimeo URLs, images, website URLs, and PDFs into the Viewer when the point hotspot viewer mode is activated. Each element will be recognized appropriately and the correct hotspot type applied.
For example, if you drag in a YouTube URL, the point hotspot type will be recognized as a video as well as a YouTube video as its source. The Title will be the video’s title and the Link Target URL will be automatically added.
