Showing and resizing peripheral panes

You can show or hide the peripheral panes and change their size relative to the size of the main pane. After you show and resize a peripheral pane, that pane, in its current size, becomes part of the default view until you hide the pane.

To show or hide a peripheral pane:

1. Do one of the following:
• To show or hide a peripheral pane in the navigation view, display the navigation view.
• To show or hide a peripheral pane in the links view, display the links view.
2. To show or hide a peripheral pane, do one of the following:
• Choose the peripheral pane from the site window menu. Panes showing are checked on the menu. Choose a checked pane to hide the pane.
• In the Navigation tab of the View palette, select Panorama, Scratch, or Reference to show a pane. Deselect the Show Pane options to hide panes.
• In the Links tab of the View palette, select Panorama, or Reference. Deselect the Show Pane options to hide panes.

To resize a peripheral pane:

1. Show the pane you want to resize.
2. Drag the inside border of the pane toward or away from the main pane.

You can simplify site building by using the scratch pane for building site modules (partial trees) and the main pane for assembling them.
