The appendix manager helps you create and manage your appendices. Once uploaded, the appendices are automatically submitted at the same time when you hand in your main paper. They can be viewed via the navigation pane on the right hand side of the screen.
The following tools are available in the appendix manager: drawing tool, webcam, code editor, file upload and formula editor. Depending on the set up of the flow, the tools available to you may vary.
In the lockdown browser, the appendix manager will open in a new pane and in the appendix manager you can manage all your appendices as described above.
In FLOWlock you will access the appendix manager in the right side of the paper.
Some appendix material can be inserted into the paper with a double arrow button. Press the button twice to insert the material at the location of the cursor in the text.
Once the appendix material is inserted in the paper, it is possible to adjust the size.
On a FLOWmulti you can access the appendix manager at the top of your screen on open-ended questions. Appendices can be added to individual items. The number in the circle will indicate how many appendices have been added on the specific item.
