:Browsing Kiwix content is in a similar way as the web-browsers, so you can easily navigate from a page (which could be a document or an article) to another page. Click on the '''Home''' icon [[File:home24.png|link=]] will take you to your current ZIM file's homepage. For instance, if you run the English Wikipedia ZIM file, you will see the [[Wikipedia]] entry as its homepage. If you haven't installed any ZIM file yet, you will see the [[Help|Help page]] as the homepage and it means there is no content to display. In that case, you should follow the instructions of [[Wikipedia in all languages|this page]] in order to read the content.
