Document Pages

A new Sketchpad document always begins with a single page or sketch—one view of the geometric plane. Over time, you may want to add additional pages to a document. For example, you may want to organize a series of sketches that develop an argument; you may want to present an activity that has several parts; or you may want to explore a conjecture in more depth than would be possible in a single sketch.

In each of these cases, it’s convenient to store several sketches together as pages of the same document.

To add pages to a document—and to name, copy, reorder, or remove existing pages—choose Document Options from the File menu.

When a document has more than one page, page tabs normally appear at the bottom left of the document window, and a page name or number appears in the window’s title bar. Click on a page tab to switch from one page of your document to another. You can also create Link buttons to jump between pages.

Use Document Options to hide or show the page tabs.
