Let’s take a closer look at the App Outline section of the Designer.
1. Toolbar
The toolbar allows you to perform various actions to change the layout of your app. These buttons may not appear depending on what item you have selected within the app outline.
A. Add Item Dropdown: Add new items to the app outline
B. Delete: Delete the currently selected item in the app outline
C. Move Up: Move the currently selected item up in the order that it appears
D. Move Down: Move the currently selected item down in the order that it appears
E. Cut: Cut the currently selected item from the app outline. Can then be pasted elsewhere.
F. Copy: Copy the currently selected item from the app outline. Can then be pasted elsewhere.
2. Collapse & Expand Buttons
These buttons can be used to collapse and expand the Item list.
3. Item List
This shows all the items that appear in your app. The triangles beside each item can be clicked to collapse and expand the list of that item’s children, if it has any.
When you select an item, it will become underlined in blue, and its properties will show up in the Item Properties window.
