The goal of this test is to create a simple manifest out of existing, hosted static images.
You've collected links to some interesting high resolution images and want to turn them into a IIIF Manifest to share with other people.
To start, you need the URLs of 10 hi-res images, in JPEG format. These can be anything - artworks, your own photos - but they need to be on the web already.
A good source might be NASA image galleries, where all the images are public domain.
On this page we have collected 10 image links from the Apollo Image Gallery that you can copy into the Manifest Editor https://digirati-co-uk.github.io/me-testing/02-images.html
We recommend opening this page in a separate window now, as further links in the tasks ahead will replace it in the test browser window.

If you have never been here before, you'll see a Splash Screen, which you can dismiss. If you have been here before, your settings might automatically load the manifest you last worked on.
Either way, start a new Manifest with File -> New, and pick "Blank Manifest".
For each of your images, add a new Canvas, one by one. Find the simplest way to add a Canvas. You shouldn't need any information other than each URL in your list.
Once you have added 5 canvases or so, see what your work would like in the Universal Viewer, and in Mirador, by using the Preview feature.
Send a preview link to a friend, so they can see what it looks like too. (You can send to yourself for the test).
Add the remaining images in the same way as before - as new canvases.
Give your Manifest a Label. Give your Manifest a Summary.
Pick a Rights Statement for your manifest from those available.
Give each canvas a Label (it doesn't matter what you call them).
While the preview link is useful, it only lasts for 48 hours. This version of the Manifest is integrated with a "permalink" service. Save your work more permanently, and send a link to the saved IIIF Manifest to a friend (or yourself).
Re-order the canvases. Try:
(hint? - do this in the grid overview)
Save the re-ordered manifest so that it replaces the original version with your original ordering.
...and this time save the Manifest to a new URL, so you don't overwrite the previous version. Send both old and new URLs to a friend (or yourself) - as if to ask, "which order do you prefer?"
Thank you for using the Manifest Editor!
