2.3.1 The Layout editor

You can create and manage the Zones in a Layout directly using the graphical Layout editor. From the menu bar, select

Layouts, then click the Layout you want to edit. Then select the Zones tab

The Zones tab on the Layouts page is a graphical editor that you can use to adjust the position and size of each Zone in

the Zones Tab directly, using your mouse.

The graphical Layout editor

By default, the Zones tab displays the Layout at 75% of the currently defined Screen resolution (not the monitor of your

PC). You can change this by using the Scaling drop down at the top of the page. It may be helpful to expand your browser

to full-screen view. In many browsers, including Microsoft Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox, the F11 key toggles

between full-screen view and normal view.

In the graphical Layout editor each Zone is displayed in a color indicating the Media player enabled for the Zone:

Red - Movie player (for example, Zone B above)

Light green - HTML player (for example, Zone C above)

Light blue - Image player

Dark green - Presentation player

Yellow - Text player (for example, Zone G above)

To select a Zone, click it once with your mouse. The selected Zone is shown with handles (such as Zone B in the

illustration above). To move the Zone click and hold the mouse button and drag the Zone. To resize the Zone, click it once

then click and drag one of the handles.
