Format

Document walk-through

The document's own page stays on screen; the quoted lines are marked one by one.

Document: US EEOC: Harassment in the Workplace (2016); EEOC Select Task Force on the Study of Harassment in the Workplace, Report of the Co-Chairs (June 2016), Executive Summary pp. iv–vi; the product's writer chose the scenes, narrated in the Ada and Theo and Cole voices. Kind: contracts and legislation; Document walk-through suits this kind. In the showcase video the Zıpır team chose the format.

Document walk-through across the eight document kinds

It suits 2 kinds; for the other 6, another format works better. The sentence on a row that does not suit is the note the panel shows on that document.
