8.2 Understanding Page Designer UI Elements
The Page Designer window features three panes: a left pane, a central pane, and a right pane. You select a component in the left or central pane and then edit the component’s attributes in the Property Editor located in the right pane.
The left pane includes four tabs: Rendering, Dynamic Actions, Processing, and Page Shared Components. The central pane contains four tabs: Layout, Component View, Page Search, and Help and a Gallery pane at the bottom. The right pane contains the Property Editor.
