Authoring Pane

The Authoring pane is a rectangular box in the middle. It contains the canvas to work on flows. You can launch a flow onto the canvas area by double-clicking a flow from the Projects pane.

If you are working on multiple flows, they are indicated in tabs with the corresponding flow names. Some of these tabs are hidden from view and are displayed in the top-right corner of the authoring pane with a number indicating a number of hidden tabs .

Click the arrow to view a list of hidden tabs, and then point and click to select a hidden flow to open.

You can close a flow by clicking the x displayed next to the flow name.
