• the  icon, which is displayed next to the hyperlink of the virtual content, allows you to switch to and display other documents, and
• the standard ESE document editor can be used by clicking the Detach online document button. 

Viewing documents

When viewing documents that use virtual content, the content will be displayed in the content area. Additionally, the hyperlink of the virtual content is displayed above the content editor.
