+ <p>Select the overview window menu item to get a navigable image
+ of the whole alignment. By default, gaps are shown as dark grey, in
+ the overview (since 2.10.2b1).</p>
+ <p>The red box indicates the currently viewed region of the
+ alignment, this may be moved by clicking and dragging with the
+ mouse.</p>
+ <p>Click anywhere else in the overview to centre the view on that
+ position</p>
+ <p></p>

+ <strong>Hiding hidden regions in the overview</strong>
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ Hidden sequences and columns are by default shown as dark-grey rows
+ and columns in the overview. Hidden regions can also be omitted
+ entirely (to make the Overview 'WYSIWIG') by <strong>Right-clicking</strong>
+ (or CMD-Clicking) to open the overview's popup menu.<br /> <br />
+ <em>The option to include/exclude hidden regions in the
+ overview was introduced in Jalview 2.10.2</em>.
