- Toolpanes are used to perform many common tasks. You can display and position the following toolpanes in the Developer:
- toolpane to display which documents contain broken links.
- Broken Links
- toolpane to set and change various document properties.
- Properties
- toolpane to display documents linked to and from a document.
- Related Documents
- toolpane to display any documents that were created from the parent document.
- Derived Documents
- Style Inspector toolpane designed to work specifically with the Web Page Editor to show which formatting attributes are part of an applied style.
- toolpane designed to search for documents based on context id.
- Context Search
- Topic Editor toolpanes designed to work specifically with the Topic Editor to create and edit bubble text, change action and frame settings, link attachments to concepts, create frame links, and add sound, as well as navigate the topic frame structure.
- It is not necessary to close a toolpane to make an action take effect; it can be left open and available while you continue to work.
- To open a specific toolpane, you select the command or toolbar icon for that task. You can open a toolpane from the Library or any document editor.
- By default, toolpanes open in a docked, vertical or horizontal toolpane on the right side or bottom of the work area depending on the document editor/library that is active. The name of the toolpane appears in the toolpane's title bar. You can open a single toolpane or multiple toolpanes at the same time and resize and position them. The Developer remembers the arrangement and size of your toolpanes.
- Note:
- By default, the appropriate toolpane appears based on the document editor or the Library that is active. For example, when you open the library or any document editor other than the Topic Editor, no toolpanes appear. However, when you open the Topic Editor, the Frame Properties and Frame Comments toolpanes appears on the right side of the screen and the Frame Structure and Sound toolpanes appear at the bottom of the screen. When you open another document editor, these toolpanes are removed from the screen. However, you can display any toolpane in any document editor or the Library by selecting the toolpane on the Toolpane menu. If you explicitly choose to display a toolpane in the Library or document editor, it appears in any document editor that you open. For example, if you open the Properties toolpane in the Library or Outline Editor, it also appears in the Topic Editor (as a tab at the bottom of the default Topic Editor toolpanes).
- Some toolpanes are designed to function with specific document editors. For example, the Frame Properties, Frame Comments, Frame Link and Frame Structure toolpanes are designed to function in Topic Editor only. If you decide to display one of these toolpanes in a document editor other than the Topic Editor, it does not function and it appears blank or disabled.
