Organizer

The organizer is the main gameplay element in Ace Attorney Investigations: Miles Edgeworth. The protagonist stores all evidence and character profiles in the organizer for him to use. The organizer is always available to be accessed at every user prompt in the game, either through an "Organizer" button or through a "Present" button.

Functions
There are two modes of browsing through the organizer. By default, the protagonist enters into an overview mode in which items are represented as icons. Eight items can fit in each page, and the player can press "left" or "right" on the d-pad or the touchscreen to navigate between pages. When an item is selected, the player goes into a detailed mode in which details on the item are given. The horizontal buttons now take the player to items adjacent to the one currently selected. The player can also "drag" the organizer to show an adjacent item.

Items can be examined closely by pressing a "Check" button that appears or by pressing "A". Some items can be checked in a 3D examination mode that is similar to "Examine" except the item can also be rotated by dragging one of two dials in the touchscreen.

Pressing "R" or the button in the upper-right corner allows the player to switch between evidence and profiles.

"Organizer" button
The "Organizer" button, accessible outside of confrontations by pressing it or the "R" shoulder button, allows the protagonist to view evidence and profiles that he has collected. This does not allow the protagonist to present evidence.

The "Present" button allows the protagonist to present items in the organizer to a character. The player can select the item and then press "X" or the "Present" button on the top of the touchscreen to present the evidence.
