touch input: a Direct touch device (a touchscreen device), or an Indirect touch
device (the Trackpad on a Mac computer, touchpads, or the Wacom Intuos5
device).

Viewing artwork
To save time when working with large or complex documents, you can create your own
custom views within a document so that you can quickly jump to specific areas and zoom
levels. Set up the view that you want to save, and then choose View > New View. Name the
view, and click OK. The view is saved with the document.

the bottom of the View menu several times to see more options.
