Follow the steps below to set a reading order and determine tags for documents:
1. Open the Order pane and click the Reading Order button.
2. Click and drag to determine the first location of the reading order. Highlights will appear around the selected content:

3. Select the type of tag that you want to apply to the selected area in the Order tab (or in the right-click context menu). The first item in the reading order will then be defined, and the tag will be applied to the document and detailed in the Tags pane:

4. Repeat this process until all necessary document content is tagged and ordered.
