The user interface of PMA.slidebox is structured as follows:

Under the menu-bar, in the top-right corner, the icons for the defined collections are specified.

By default, the first collection is selected, and the cases are listed underneath. Similarly, the slides per case are grouped under each case header.

Switching collections is done by clicking on any of the other collection icons.

A collection can consist of any number of cases, and each case in turn can have any number of slides contained within it. The user interface uses lazy loading to prevent unacceptable load times when you want to provide many cases with many slides.

When you want to look at a particular slide within a case, click on the slide's thumbnail is it opens up next to the collection/case/slide navigation panel.

Depending on how PMA.slidebox is configured behind the scenes, additionally selected slides are opened next to the existing viewport, or replace the current viewport altogether.

If the above is true , then slides can be removed from the grid presentation by clicking them again, effectively de-selecting them.

When a new slide is selected from a new case, the viewport is always cleared, and the slide takes up as much viewing area on the screen as possible.
