How does the Short Message Viewer assist in navigation through documents?

The Short Message Viewer assists in navigation through documents by offering timeline navigation capabilities. This feature allows users to efficiently navigate through a series of messages displayed on a timeline, making it easier to locate specific conversations or messages within a larger document set. By using a timeline view, users can quickly move to different points in the conversation history, which is especially beneficial when dealing with lengthy exchanges or multiple interactions over time. This capability enhances the overall user experience by simplifying the process of finding relevant information in complex document structures.

Other options do not provide the same level of utility when navigating document conversations. For example, a visual map of document layout, while potentially useful for understanding organization, does not cater specifically to the need for chronological navigation through messages. Displaying only the first message in a conversation would limit context and continuity, making it harder to grasp the full discussion. Limiting access to single documents contradicts the purpose of the Short Message Viewer, which is designed to facilitate comprehensive review rather than restrict access.
