# Interact with a Web Viewer Object

The Web Viewer Object is used on a Screen with the sole purpose of displaying a fully functional webpage. However, it may also offers two interactive features:

- The ability to configure a Layout to dynamically define a URL. See [Creating a Web Viewer Object](/v1/docs/creating-a-Web-Viewer-object) for more details.
- The ability to view comments related to the Object (if any).

When you hover over the Object area, the Object toolbar icon (![formatting-a-flex-grid-image-34z0xi3y](https://cdn.document360.io/8d6f1ae8-0cac-4d0d-a208-6245b83df94a/Images/Documentation/formatting-a-flex-grid-image-34z0xi3y.png) ) appears in the top left corner. Click on it to reveal the Object toolbar as a sliding toolbar.

The Object toolbar includes the following icons by default (unless otherwise configured):

- **The Layout icon** ![interacting-with-a-webviewer-object-image-5cndcuvm](https://cdn.document360.io/8d6f1ae8-0cac-4d0d-a208-6245b83df94a/Images/Documentation/interacting-with-a-webviewer-object-image-5cndcuvm.png). Opens the Layout editor.
- **Comment icon** ![interacting-with-a-webviewer-object-image-jw0us2rl](https://cdn.document360.io/8d6f1ae8-0cac-4d0d-a208-6245b83df94a/Images/Documentation/interacting-with-a-webviewer-object-image-jw0us2rl.png). Displays any comment attached to the Object (if any). Depending on the comment configuration, the icon displayed can be a balloon icon, a question mark icon, or an alert icon.
