1. Select the topic you wish to edit.
2. Select the Settings button from the Toolbar.
If the Toolbar is disabled, select the Modify button at the top right corner of the screen. A dialog will open with two options. Select Settings.
3. Select Page Browser from the Settings menu.
4. Select the page and choose Editor.
5. You will see up to four extra hotspots (shaded) along the left side of the page.
These will be labeled Subtopic1, Subtopic2, etc. Though they are hidden by default, they will become active once you begin to edit them.Each extra hotspot is linked to a subtopic tab and vocabulary grid with the matching name.
6. To use an empty hotspot, select it and drag it to the area of the screen you wish to target.
The hotspot can be resized as needed.
7. Select the Properties button on the hotspot.
The Properties panel will open. You can change the label of the hotspot by selecting in the Label text box and typing the new label.
Note: Do not worry about the Message. Hotspots will not speak a message without assigning the appropriate action.
It is recommended that you do not edit the actions on any of the hotspots.
8. For this hotspot to be visible when editing, it must be unhidden.Select the Misc tab on the Properties panel. Clear the Hidden check box.
9. To edit messages associated with this hotspot, you will need to select the tab that corresponds with that hotspot. We used Subtopic1 in the example, so we will edit content in the tab labeled Subtopic1.Select the Subtopic 1tab. (You will know it is selected when the tab turns from gray to yellow.)
10. Select the Properties button at the top left corner of the tab.
11. Select the text box next to Label, and enter a label that matches the one you used for your new hotspot.

In this case we have added “What class do we have next?” (We chose a question to maintain the format in all the other vocabulary grids.)
