Navigation pane

The Navigation pane, located on the left side of the interface, is the area used to display the library's folder list, the search options, a book's contents pane (and the book contents toolbar), and the publishing options when the publishing console is open.

Navigation accordion

The tabs in the accordion are used to open the Home page, or switch between the library's folder list, the search options, a book's contents pane, or the publishing console. The accordion can be displayed as a full accordion, or collapsed with the tab icons displayed in a single row in the tab tray (as in this example).

Contents pane

The Contents pane, located on the right side of the interface, displays the Home page content, object lists for folder contents or search results, the topic editor, Author-it Live user options, or the split screen used when you are embedding or pasting topics.

Library toolbar

The Library toolbar is located at the top of the contents pane, and is used to open the screens displayed in the contents pane (the exception is the Home page which is opened from the navigation accordion).

Object list

The folder contents and search results are displayed in an object list (showing the object's icon, description, template, modification details, and object code). The object list toolbar, located at the bottom-right corner of the content pane, is used to navigate through long lists spread over multiple pages.

Topic Editor

Topics are opened for editing in the Topic Editor. The Topic Editor can be viewed in the split screen (as in this example) or full screen. The editing environment includes the topic toolbar for accessing the editing commands.
