Reading on Mobile¶
Reading on mobile is the Lessons tab's contents shelf, an article reader, and a keyboard-aware Ask field on each article. Lessons, review, and the exam have their own tabs — see Learning on Mobile; this page is about the reading half.
The Lessons tab¶
Opening the app lands on the first Audience you belong to — there is no list screen in between — with the Chat tab in front; the Lessons tab holds the contents: what this readership is told, in one section per topic. Anything not anchored to a topic sits below under General. The topic name is a heading rather than a link.
Each row leads with the question its article answers and names the article underneath (the other way round under General), plus a progress ring showing how much of the lesson you have mastered and — when the article isn't written yet — a status chip: Queued, Writing…, Not ready, or Failed. A written article gets no chip.
Pull down to refresh if you're expecting something new. Questions belong on the Chat tab, a thread scoped to the whole Audience — same grounding rules as web, with follow-ups.
If you belong to more than one Audience, tap the Audience's name at the top of the Lessons page to switch between them: a sheet slides up listing every Audience you belong to, each with a badge showing your role in it (owner or learner). Each Audience has independent contents.
Reading an article¶
Tap any row to open its entry. A written article is rendered as a single scrolling page. Terms the organization has defined are live concept links: tap one and its definition slides up in place, with the other terms it mentions one tap away.
If you haven't finished the article's exercises yet, a Practice this banner sits above the document — the article is still yours to read in full, exactly as on web.
Links at the end of the document take you to the previous and next entry, in the order the contents lists them, so you can work straight through a topic without going back.
An entry you open may show a notice instead:
- Still being written — the screen shows a writing state and picks the document up as soon as it lands, without you having to leave and come back.
- Not ready — Mention could not write this article from the sources your organization has connected. The screen says why, and a What was asked for panel shows the prompt the entry was commissioned from, so you can see what material is missing. Tell your Audience's owner; connecting that material is what unblocks it.
- Write failed — something went wrong producing the document. Your Audience's owner can ask Mention to write it again from the web app.
At the bottom of every article screen is a single-shot Ask field, scoped to the Audience: ask, read the answer in a sheet, get back to reading.
Progress and sync¶
Both apps write to the same account: a lesson finished on mobile is finished on web, and the other way round. The Lessons tab's status line and progress bar are the same numbers the web Learn tab shows.
