How to reopen Navigation Information panel in BIMcollab WebViewer?

When you open the BIMcollab WebViewer for the first time, an information panel will be visible at the bottom of the page, indicating how to navigate in the Viewer.



 

This panel can be closed by clicking on the cross (X) at the top right. Although the panel consists of three different parts, it is actually only one panel. All three parts will disappear with one click. Because this is an information panel and there are no actual features available, it was decided to only show this panel once. After it has been closed, there is no way to show it again.

However, there is a workaround to show the panel on the screen again. To do this, you need to remove the associated ‘site data’ of your BIMcollab Space from your Internet browser.
