Examples
- A niche site with few mementos
- A popular site with many mementos
- After installing Mink, visit a web page and note the badge on the Mink button bar icon indicating the number of mementos (archived captures over time) available.
- Clicking on the icon reveals the Mink interface.
- Select the dropdown list to display the captures available.
- Select a time and choose the View button to view a memento.
- You will then be viewing an archived version of the web page on the live web! When viewing an archived web page, the Mink logo changes to a "eyeball" icon to indicate that you are viewing a memento.
- Select the Mink icon again to reveal the interface to return to the live web.
- After installing Mink, visit a very popular web page (one that is likely to have many captures, e.g., cnn.com) and noticed the "999+" badge, indicating that many archive captures (mementos) are available.
- Clicking the Mink icon, displays the date-based "Miller Columns" of the many mementos.
- The date-based drilldown list allows you to easily select the memento with date and time you desire. This interface is also available for web pages with fewer mementos
- If no mementos exist or you would like to create a capture of the current web page, clicking the "Archive Page To..." button will display one-click submission to the supported archives (current Internet Archive and Archive.is).
