Tool/Widget Location When a tool is selected in the Tool bar, it will either open directly from the tool bar button or will appear in a panel on the left side of the screen. Only one tool can be active at a time. |
Tool/Widget Location Each tool/widget is opened in a floating panel. Each panel has a title bar with an information icon. The information icon links to content in the help file that is relevant to that widget. The widget will remain active when the panel is closed. This allows the user to maximize available screen space while using the widget. This is especially helpful when using drawing tools on mobile devices. Users will remove graphics from the widget in which they were created.
Note: When drawing tools are active popups are disabled. |
