The right panel
The right panel holds four tabs: Assistant, Explain, Properties and Check. On the first start it opens on Assistant. Each tab keeps its state when you switch away: a message you started to write, the scroll position, a field you were editing.
<!-- picture: the right panel with its four tab icons and the two buttons on the right -->The tabs
| Tab | Icon | What it is for | Page |
|---|---|---|---|
| Assistant | sparkles | the conversation with the assistant, the modes Ask, Build and Learn, the lessons | The assistant tab, The lessons tab |
| Explain | light bulb | the explanations of what is selected, and your own notes | The explanations tab |
| Properties | sliders | the selected node, link or the whole graph | Properties |
| Check | list with ticks | the findings of the check | The check tab |
When the names do not fit, the tabs show only their icons; hover to see the name.
How to show, hide and size it
- Hide tools (the right icon in the header), View ▸ Tools panel or
Ctrl+Jhides the panel. A strip of icons stays on the right edge: Show tools and one icon per tab. - Drag the left edge (Resize tools) to make it from 320 to 720 pixels wide. The canvas keeps at least 560 pixels.
- Show both (the left icon in the header, or View ▸ Show both) shows Properties and Assistant side by side. Each pane is named above itself in the style of a tab; a click on a name goes back to one tab. It needs a window at least 1280 pixels wide; when the room is short, the library folds by itself, and when it is still short the button is grey and says why.
What opens a tab by itself
- Check graph opens Check.
- Message the assistant, a question from a canvas menu, and Lessons: build it yourself open Assistant.
- Rename… and Note for this node… open Properties.
- A question about an object while no assistant is chosen opens Explain.
F6 moves the keyboard focus into the right panel and on to the next part of the window. Buttons inside the panels are quiet; only the one main action of a moment stands out.
