- Show the Reading Widget: If on, the Reading Widget will appear whenever you visit an approved news website.
- Analyze my news reading: If on, we will log the articles you read and long you read them. You can see your reading summary in your AverPoint Activity page.
- Show the Credibility Layer: If on, we’ll add a layer over the news articles you read. You can use this layer to interact with the claims in the news articles. This lets you question, review, add evidence to, and save claims. You can also see how the AverPoint community interacted with the article.
- Click the gear icon to explore more settings. These let you configure how you save claims, the position of the credibility layer, and more.
