Complex and interactive features of a publication may be most vulnerable to change or loss over time, especially if they also have third-party dependencies. Where there is a layout or interactivity that is important to understanding the work, record a video walk through with the author that shows the original intent so that it can be viewed or even recreated in the future. Include this recording in the preserved version of the publication.
