About the Panels

The Panel bar is always visible on the left, except when Full-screen view is set. Resize the panel area by dragging and dropping its right separator bar. Shut the Panel area by clicking the close control (x) at the top right of the panel.

 

The Panel bar always presents two universally useful tools at the top:

Hand: This is the basic navigation pointer. Choose it to finish the use of any other tool. Specify the Hand tool behavior in File > Options > General > Miscellaneous.

Select: Use this to select a text block or an image to edit its properties, export it, and so on.

 

Beneath these two tools, a customizable set of Panel tools is displayed. Each document can have its own set of visible panel bar tools. By delivery default the following tools are placed.

 

Bookmarks: Place bookmarks manually or automatically from a heading hierarchy.

Pages: See and work with a set of thumbnails; one for each page in the document.

Stamps: View a customizable stamp collection and place stamps onto documents.

Attachments: This lists all attachments in the document along with added information, and lets you work with them.

Comments: This lists all comments in the document and lets you reply to them, set their status and more.

Security: Create and apply security schemes covering password and certificate security.

Auto-recovery: Lists files whose changes risk being lost by an abnormal program termination.

Clip Art: View a customizable clip art collection and place art into documents.

 

If you do not see a desired tool, right-click in an empty space on the Panel bar and select it. Remove the checkmark from any panels you do not need. Click Reset Panels to restore the basic panels shown above.  Here are further choices:
