      [SPOTT] Make your first content interactive

      Making content interactive is easy; just follow these 4 steps

      1. Create a new project, upload your content
      2. Add and customize interactive Spotts
      3. Define the publish settings
      4. Publish the interactive content

      You will find the complete flow of actions in the left menu, with 2 tabs

      • Layers to add interactive layers 
      • Publish to customize the publishing methods        

       
      1. Create a new project, upload your content

      On the project page, you can start making content interactive. Hit the '+ Project' button

      Upload the content that you want to make interactive

      • An image
      • A video
      • A pdf   (This pdf will be automatically split into different images, 1 per page) 

      2. Add and customize the interactive layer

      Now you can add interactive layers to your content. There is a list of 25+ interactive templates available. If you have saved your own customized templates, you will find them under the "My Spotts'" section.

      • Just drag and drop an interactive template from on your content
      • Change the position of the layers anytime by grabbing and dropping them elsewhere
      • Customize the template. A template is made out of different elements for which you can change the following: 
        • Content       (The texts, images,..)
        • Style            (The look and feel)

      • Use the preview mode to see how the content will look in the end. Hit the "Eye" icon in the bottom left corner.

      On the last tab, before publishing the interactive content, you can define how your interactive content will look when published.


      Per publication method, there are different options to customize.

      • Spott branding: remove the spott branding on the interactive content (you need to upgrade)
      • Full size: are images loaded faster or not depends on full-size loading
      • Size: Size of the interactive media
