Variant Forms

In the left pane, there are multiple instances of Variant Forms in all views. You configure each instance separately.

For Hybrid views, see [References Section] and Variant Forms (Inflected Variants).

In the right pane, select () each variant type you want to display.
Optionally, you can do the following:
- In the left pane, duplicate Variant Forms. Then, select different types to display in each instance.
- Use up arrows or down arrows to reorder the instances (left pane) or selected types (right pane).

When the entry (not a specific sense of the entry) is chosen for a variant form, you use Variant Forms to configure references to variant forms (as they appear in the primary entry).
