    3. Select a page.
    Page Designer appears.
  2. In the Gallery at the bottom of the central pane:
    1. Click the Region tab and locate the type of region you want to create. Pass the cursor over a control or component to view a tooltip that describes it.
    2. Right-click a region to view a context menu.
    3. Select Add To and then the location where you want to add the component.

    Page Designer indicates what actions are required next. If there is an error, a Messages icon displays next to the Save button. Click the Messages icon to view a dialog listing all the errors. Select an error to highlight the associated attribute in the Property Editor.

Tip:

You can also drag and drop components from the Gallery. Click and hold the mouse on the region to be created and drag it the desired location in the Layout tab. When the mouse is over the appropriate location, the Layout tab displays as a darkened yellow tile. Release the mouse to drop the component. You can only drop components into appropriate drop positions, as determined by the component type.
