Choosing Content

Can I select more than one option when choosing the content I want to view?

Not at the moment, no. You will need to choose the area most relevant to you - Broking, Claims or Technology. You can switch between these, but in order to do so you will need to clear your app data - deleting any downloaded papers from your device. We are looking to improve this functionality.

When I first opened the app I chose the content I wanted to see, how can I choose another option?

Switching to another option will remove downloaded papers from your device. If you need to switch you can do so by tapping the settings icon and then tapping the ‘Clear app data’ button. This will return you to the first screen to select your content.
