This section briefly describes some elements of the Dreamweaver workspace. Some information about how to use these tools appears later in this guide; for more detailed information, see Using Dreamweaver Help.
The Start page (not shown) enables you to open a recent document or create a new document. From the Start page you can also learn more about Dreamweaver by taking a product tour or a tutorial.
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 a table by clicking the Table button 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 grouped 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 Files panel enables you to manage your files and folders, whether they are part of a Dreamweaver site or on a remote server. The Files panel also enables you to access all the files on your local disk, much like Windows Explorer (Windows) or the Finder (Macintosh).
Dreamweaver provides a variety of other panels, inspectors, and windows not shown here, such as the CSS Styles panel and the Tag inspector. To open Dreamweaver panels, inspectors, and windows, use the Window menu.
