Interacting with paginated reports in Amazon QuickSight
To access a paginated report that you've been invited to share, follow the instructions in the invitation email. You can also access a paginated report if it's embedded into an application or website that you already have access to. When you open the report, the screen should look something like the following example.

To fit the paginated report to your screen, open the View menu at upper right and select Fit to window. You can also zoom in and out using the plus (+) and minus (-) icons on the top left corner of the report.
