Windows and Panels Overview
The following are brief descriptions of the windows and other elements in Dreamweaver’s workspace. For more detailed information, see Dreamweaver Help (Help > Using Dreamweaver).
The Welcome window provides tips on setting up your workspace for various purposes, and information on new features for those who have used previous versions of Dreamweaver.
The Insert bar contains buttons for inserting various types of “objects,” such as images, tables, and layers, into a document. Each object is a piece of HTML code that allows you to set various attributes as you insert it. For example, you can insert an image by clicking the Image icon in the Insert bar. If you prefer, you can insert objects using the Insert menu instead of the Insert bar.
The Document toolbar contains buttons and pop-up menus that provide different views of the Document window (such as Design view and Code view), various viewing options, and some common operations such as previewing in a browser.
The Document window displays the current document as you create and edit it.
The Property inspector lets you view and change a variety of properties for the selected object or text. Each kind of object has different properties.
Panel groups are sets of related panels docked together under one heading. To expand a panel group, click the expander arrow at the left of the group’s name; to undock a panel group, drag the gripper at the left edge of the group’s title bar.
The Site panel allows you to manage the files and folders that make up your site.
