# Document viewer

All documents have a selection of tabs above them that contain tools and features. If there are different versions of the same document, such as a judgment and reported versions, you will see these on separate tabs.

### Tabs overview

The list below outlines some of the common tabs you will see above a document. What you see can depend on the document type and your jurisdiction:

#### Search 

This tab allows you to search for words within the document. 

#### Table of contents (books, journals, and news)

Some document types will have a **Table of contents,** or a list of issues for you to choose between.

#### Document and versions, where available

Under this tab, you can read the document itself. The name displayed on this tab changes depending on the type of document.

#### Cited authorities, Cited in, and Precedent Map (for case law)

These three tabs will show information on how the document is related to others. For more information, you can read the [Cited authorities](/document-types/case-law/cited-authorities.md), [Cited in](/document-types/case-law/cited-in.md), and [Precedent Map](/document-types/case-law/precedent-map.md) articles.

#### Cited in (for legislation)

This tab will show how a piece of legislation has been referred to in subsequent documents. For more information, read [Cited in](/document-types/case-law/cited-in.md).
