Uflo offers several ways to work through the same material. Start with a summary to get your bearings, then use section notes, mindmaps, or audio to explore the parts that need more attention.

Find a Study Tool

Open your material and look at the tabs in its study panel. Summary covers the file as a whole. Notes organizes the material into sections and holds the other available section tools.
The tools you see depend on what was selected for the file and whether processing has finished. For your own material, choose study tools when uploading.

Read at the Level of Detail You Need

Select Summary for a short overview of the material. Use it before reading to identify the main ideas, or afterward to connect what you have learned.

Summary gives you an overview of the whole file.

Explore a Section in Another Way

These tools appear inside Notes when they are available for your file. Choose the one that helps you work through the topic.
A mindmap shows how ideas in a section connect. Select a filled or hollow branch circle to expand or collapse its details. Choose Expand To View Full Mindmap when you need more room.

Expand branches to explore the relationships between ideas.

Keep Notes Aligned With the Material

Open the contents icon in a Notes section header. Leave Sync Document With Notes checked to follow the page you are reading or the current recording position. Clear it when you want to browse the notes independently.

The contents drawer lets you jump between sections and control synchronization.

Keep Notes open while following along. Synchronization uses the page or time ranges attached to each section.
Wait for the file to finish processing, then reopen it. If the tool is still unavailable for course material, ask your instructor whether it was included. For a personal upload, you can upload another copy with the tools selected.
