# Customize how content opens from Explorer

Whatfix enables you to change the content consumption experience for PDFs and links in Explorer. By default, PDFs and links open in a new window in the same position the DAP on OS is located on your screen.

Use the following steps to customize the content consumption experience in Explorer:

1. On the Whatfix DAP on OS Dashboard, click **Style**. ![style.png](https://cdn.document360.io/a268766e-d74d-4619-9613-e2472f809ffb/Images/Documentation/hub_style%283%29.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-11-12T10%3A28%3A04Z&se=2026-11-12T11%3A28%3A04Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=7vQK7GeXqlyMw2ssZEq5GPpouDmb5CoLzM7nX8lMG6U%3D)
2. Click **Panel**. ![2024-08-12_10-46-39.png](https://cdn.document360.io/a268766e-d74d-4619-9613-e2472f809ffb/Images/Documentation/hub_click_panel.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-11-12T10%3A28%3A04Z&se=2026-11-12T11%3A28%3A04Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=7vQK7GeXqlyMw2ssZEq5GPpouDmb5CoLzM7nX8lMG6U%3D)

1. Click **Interaction**. ![sh_style_interaction.png](https://cdn.document360.io/a268766e-d74d-4619-9613-e2472f809ffb/Images/Documentation/click_interaction.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-11-12T10%3A28%3A04Z&se=2026-11-12T11%3A28%3A04Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=7vQK7GeXqlyMw2ssZEq5GPpouDmb5CoLzM7nX8lMG6U%3D)
