Abstract

An electronic device, when in a first tilted state, displays a content page in a sketch mode, which includes displaying a zoomed view of a portion of the content page, and configuring the zoomed view of the portion of the content page to accept user inputs modifying content in the first portion of the content page. While displaying the content page in the sketch mode, the device detects that it is tilted from the first tilted state to a distinct second tilted state, and in response, displays the content page in an overview mode, which includes zooming out to display an overview of the content page. Optionally, displaying the content page in the overview mode includes displaying an input position indicator over the overview of the content page to indicate the portion of the content page previously displayed in the zoomed view.
