Pathways

The ability to add pathways to your pages is one of the most powerful tools on Scalar, but it can also be the most finicky. It is recommended to play with this tool before sitting down to work on a full project. Create some empty pages on Scalar and play with the pathways, create different paths going in different directions to get a feel for the tool. An important thing to consider when creating paths is where the reader will go once they finish with a pathway. The author may choose to direct the reader to the beginning of the pathway, to a specific page, or possibly to an entirely new page to start another path. Even though pathways may not force a reader to follow them, having pathways will certainly direct your reader when they have no other course to follow. As such, treat pathways carefully, try many different layouts to see what works best, and don't be afraid to experiment.
