- When nothing moved between them, one picture shows both clicks, marked 3.1 and 3.2.
- When the page scrolled or changed, each keeps its own picture. The strip and the timeline number them 3.1 and 3.2, and the step prints both, one after the other.
- Numbered marks read 3.1, 3.2 and so on, and the spotlight lights each one.

- Four or more, two to a row.
- Large on top or on the left
- The first picture large, with the rest below it or beside it. For three or four pictures.
