Slideout Panels
A down arrow
to the right of a panel title indicates that you can slide out
the panel to display additional tools and controls. By default, an expanded
panel closes automatically when you click another panel. To keep a panel
expanded, click the push pin icon in the bottom-left corner of the slideout
panel.
Floating Panels
If you pull a panel off of a ribbon tab and into a different area in the
application window or the desktop, that panel floats where you placed it. The
floating panel remains open until you return it to the ribbon, even if you
switch ribbon tabs.
Tool Launcher
Some ribbon panels display a dialog box or a dockable window related to that
panel. A tool launcher arrow
in the lower-right corner of the panel indicates
that you can display a related tool. Click the icon to display the associated
dialog box or dockable window.
Check Boxes
Check boxes allow you to toggle an option on or off.
Sliders
When an option can be executed with varying intensity, the slider allows you
to control the setting from lower to higher, or reverse.
