Example of the Folwell Directional Link widget on a page

Some potential use cases for this widget include:

  • Having your audience receive information in a specific order, such as admissions processes and other step-by-step instructions. The "back" or "next" links in allows the user to navigate through the sequence as if they were turning the page of a book.
  • Guiding your audience through an online magazine or a themed grouping of content.

At the bottom of each article, you can see these directional links that invite the reader to interact and read more in the series.
