====== Browsing Mode ======

===== Browsing Mode =====

Browsing mode allows users to directly explore texts available in the Arabic, Greek, and Latin corpora without manually entering a query in the search bar.
This mode represents an alternative consultation method to Searching, while sharing many of the same functionalities already available in search results, such as the ability to add notes or initiate new searches from a text selection.

----

===== Access to Browsing Mode =====

On the platform homepage, on the right side of each language section (Arabic, Greek, Latin), a set of buttons represents the different available Sources for the selected corpus.
By clicking on one of these buttons, the user immediately accesses the Browsing mode related to the selected Source.

Some buttons may appear disabled (greyed out). In this case, hovering over the button displays a tooltip indicating:

“This source is not yet available”

===== Source Types and Related Filters =====

The structure of Browsing mode changes according to the selected Source.
The main types are described below.

----

===== Scriptures (Greek and Latin) =====
(e.g. R-LXX)

These Sources follow a hierarchical structure based on books and internal text divisions.

**Available filters:**

  * **Book**  
    List of books included in the selected Source.
  * **Chapter**  
    Allows selection of a chapter within the selected book.
  * **Verse**  
    Allows selection of a specific verse.

Navigation flow:

Book → Chapter → Verse

**Available filters:**

  * **Author**  
    List of ancient authors available in the corpus.
  * **Work**  
    List of works by the selected author.

Navigation flow:

  * **Āyah** (verses)
