The Work Area

When you open an item to work on it, it is displayed in the work area in a tabbed panel called an editor. Each item you open is displayed in its own custom editor: the controls in an editor vary according to the type of item it contains. If you open more than one item, then the editors are stacked on top of each other in the work area.

Each editor has a tab at the bottom, and you can:

• Switch between editors by clicking on the tabs.

• Close editors by clicking on the tab close buttons ( ).

There are four different types of editors:

• Section editors (see Using A Section Editor)

• Section page editors (see Using A Section Page Editor)

• Content editors (see Using A Content Editor)

• List editors (see Using A List Editor)

If no editors are open in the work area, then the Content Studio dashboard is displayed there. The dashboard is a page of useful information. It is displayed on a tab in the same way as the editors (so that you can bring it to the front when required by clicking on the tab). The dashboard contents are customizable.
