Editor
The edit page is the main screen for editing projects. We aim to be as simple and straightforward as possible.
As you can see, the Editor Page is made up of five EDITOR AREAS:
- Header
- Tool Bar
- Left Panel
- Viewer
- Right Panel
As a basic configuration, the left panel is the content list. Used to select objects for manipulation.
The right panel is the properties panel for the selected layer. Used to change properties.
The viewer, located in the center, is the viewing window for your project. You can also select and edit layers.
Header
In the header, you can navigate, create workspaces and projects, and make public settings for projects.
The down arrow will open a menu. Through these menu you can complete various operations, as well as navigating to various setting pages. The two buttons on the right are used to quickly preview or publish the project, respectively.
Click ∨ next to the account name or project name to display the menu.
The preview and publish status buttons in the upper right are used to quickly preview or publish your project. See also here for publishing features.
Left Panel
The Left Panel is used to present and manage all the content contained in the project. It has two labels Outline and Dataset
