Scrolling the view in the main pane

You can use a miniature view of an entire site to help you scroll the view of the site shown in the main pane and focus on a particular subtree. You can use the panorama pane or Site Navigator palette to scroll the main pane to distant parts of the site. For small movements, you may find the scroll bars in the main pane adequate.

Both the panorama pane and Site Navigator palette show a miniature version of the complete site with a red view box representing the portion of the site currently shown in the main pane, and both let you scroll the main pane's view by dragging the box. If you resize the main pane or change the magnification percentage to zoom in or out, the size of the red box changes accordingly in the miniature view.

There is one key difference between the Site Navigator palette and the panorama pane. Although the Site Navigator palette is a picture of the site, the panorama pane is an actual view, so you can work with objects in the panorama pane even if they aren't visible in the main pane. For example, you can drag a page in the panorama pane that is outside the main pane into a location in the main pane.

To scroll the view in the main pane to another part of the site:

1. Do one of the following:
• Show the panorama pane.
• Choose Window > Site Navigator.
2. Do one of the following:
• In the panorama pane or Site Navigator palette, drag the red view box to another part of the site. The view in the main pane scrolls with the box.
• Select a file entirely outside the view box--that is, one that doesn't also appear inside the box. The view in the main pane scrolls to show the file.
• Hold the Spacebar and drag the view.
