Welcome Screen

The welcome screen is a transparent web view that displays HTML content between the splash screen and the Library/Store. The HTML content
appears the first time customers launch the app after installing it or the first time they launch the app after it's updated. The welcome screen has
full access to the Library/Store API. See

Getting started with a welcome screen

in DPS Developer Center.

Sample Welcome Screen that gathers information from the Library and Store APIs.

Information Screen

With the v30 release, you can display an Information Screen wherever customers are viewing content in your app. For example, you can
encourage readers to create an account, download a companion app, access help content, or view other customized offers through a transparent
web view. The Information Screen has full access to the JavaScript APIs—either the Library and Store API or the Reading API, depending on
where the Information Screen is triggered.

You can launch the Information Screen from either the app level (such as a custom library or entitlement banner) or from the folio level (HTML
article or Web Content overlay). The HTML files used in the Information Screen reside on a server outside the app, not within the app. Users must
be connected to the Internet to view the Information Screen.

HTML articles / Web Content overlays

To access JS APIs from within a folio rather than in the library, you can create an HTML article or a Web Content overlay. You can then create

digital blow-ins

to display different content depending on how the article was acquired, or you can take advantage of the

Camera API

, the

Geolocation API

, or various

consumer marketing APIs

.
