Zotero for Android Manual

Olib170
Is there anywhere a manual for the Zotero Android App ?
In the documentation, there is only "Zotero for Mobile"
https://www.zotero.org/support/mobile

I ask, because there seem to be some screen taps in the pdf viewer that do things. For example I just managed to get a kind of full screen view of my pdf, without any of the top or left menu, resulting in a situation where I was not able any more to get out of the pdf and back to the references list. On the other hand, i would like to get back to this mode.
Also sometimes I get the thumbnail on the bottom, which can be very helpfull, and then they disappear and I don't seem to manage to get them back.
Brief, there is a bunch of functionality which is not evident to know from buttons, and there does not seem to be any description of these.
If somebody can point me to a manual, I would be able to use Zotero Android much more efficiently (and ask probably less questions on the forum ;-)
Thanks in advance
Cheers
Oliver

    There's no manual. Switching in and out of full-screen mode in the reader (with the top navigation bar and bottom page scrubber hidden) is just a tap on the screen. The annotation toolbar remains visible in both modes if activated. That's really all there is to it.

    Thanks for the rapid return.
    The "just tap on the screen" seems to work , sometimes. Sometime the single tap does not work to get out of the full screen.

    However, how to show or not the thumbnails at the bottom of the page is something for which I haven't yet found a rule :-) Sometime I suddenly get it, and then it disappears.

    What version are you on? I think it can just get into a broken state right now where the full-screen toggle doesn't work properly — I was just able to reproduce that. Closing the app and reopening it should reset it, and then a single tap should reliably toggle both the navigation bar and the page scrubber (thumbnails). We'll investigate.

    as far as I can read 1.0.0-247, on a Onyx Boox Note 5C (android 15). On this tablet (10.3'') the standard font used for text in Parameters and the references list is extremely small.
    And yes, I had realized force stopping Zotero on the tables and then reloading will make it work again
