Would it be possible to consider adding a<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><b>Show Text</b> checkbox as well? Disabling this<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><b>Show Text</b> option (just below the<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><b>Show Image<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></b>checkbox) would allow users to just view the drawings (a feature provided in TESS). Showing just the drawings could help anyone focused exclusively on reviewing the drawings without scrolling through accompanying text. For example, with the proper zoom setting, a screen could likely display 25 drawings (5 rows of 5 drawings), allowing users to quickly tag those drawings of interest. It might be helpful to always display the serial numbers so that any screen snapshots when text display was disabled would include both the drawings and their unique serial number identifiers.</div><div style="font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration: none; direction: ltr; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"><br></div><div class="elementToProof" style="font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration: none; direction: ltr; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Additionally, perhaps we could consider a<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><b>Tagged Documents Display</b> feature, which would show all trademarks tagged during a session. I often use the export option simply to create a list of tagged documents for later review. A<b>Tagged Documents Display<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></b>would simplify the review of the tagged trademarks during the search session, allowing the less-relevant trademarks to be untagged.</div><div style="font-style: normal;
