**The magazine mode makes it easy to navigate by swiping** from right to left and left to right **between screens.** You automatically go to the next screen and the previous one.

This navigation is particularly appreciated for your digital publication projects (digital magazines, ebooks, interactive presentations...) because it reproduces your natural behavior when reading a printed publication.

The advantage is also that it introduces a fluid transition between screens. However, it is not possible to avoid a screen: all screens are automatically taken into account.

Here is an example with the Comexposium publication:

## Activate the magazine navigation

Select the **Project** and go to the **Properties** window.

Check the **Magazine Mode** box and choose the number of fingers needed to trigger the action.

## Show a page indicator

To help readers track their progress, add a `page X / total` indicator that updates automatically as they swipe between screens. See [Display a page indicator](https://docs.pandasuite.com/essentials/project-properties/project-information/#display-a-page-indicator).
