Page Editor: Design View

Use Design view of the page editor to build or revise a task flow asset. Design view provides a WYSIWYG rendering of the task flow and its content, where controls are directly selectable on each component to move, delete, or perform custom actions on the component.

To add components to the task flow, you use the resource catalog, which you can show and hide on the right side of the page. How?
