Glossary

Interface tour

The editor opens full screen on top of wp-admin. Here is what lives where, so the rest of the glossary makes sense at a glance.

The editor layout. The options bar and the Properties panel both change to match whatever tool or layer is active.

A vertical rail of tools. Click a tool, then set its options in the bar above the canvas. Each tool has a one-key shortcut.

File, Edit, Image, Layer, Select, Filter, Text, View, Automation, Tools, Extensions and Help.

Tabs for Layers, Adjust, Effects, AI and History, plus the context-aware Properties panel underneath.

Your document, with rulers, guides, a grid, snapping and a navigator. Tabs and pages sit around it.

Undo, compare, theme and save sit up top. Zoom, cursor position and document size sit at the bottom.

Several documents open in tabs; a document can hold several pages. A dot marks unsaved changes.
