FAQPage Schema
How do I display historical documents interactively with a text layer?▼

To display historical documents interactively, use the `view_document` tool by providing `image_urls` and `text_layer_urls` parameters to render the document pages alongside their transcriptions in a single viewer interface.

Can I highlight specific search terms within a document viewer?▼

Yes, you can highlight specific search terms within the document viewer by passing the desired keyword to the `highlight_term` parameter when configuring the `view_document` tool for enhanced document exploration.

What parameters are required to show multi-page historical documents?▼

Showing multi-page historical documents requires passing arrays of `image_urls` and `text_layer_urls`, while optional `metadata` can be added to provide contextual information alongside the interactive document display.

Why does my document viewer fail to load the transcription layer?▼

A document viewer fails to load the transcription layer when `text_layer_urls` are missing, incorrectly formatted, or mismatched with the corresponding `image_urls`, which are common user errors addressed in the usage guide.

What is the best way to add metadata when displaying transcriptions?▼
