Pages pane
You can split drawings in Draw over several pages. Multi-page drawings are used mainly for
presentations. The Pages pane gives an overview of the pages that you create in your drawing. If
the Pages pane is not visible, go to View on the Menu bar and select Page Pane. To make
changes to the page order, drag and drop one or more pages.
Sidebar
The Sidebar has four main sections. To expand a section you want to use, click on its icon or click
on the small triangle at the top of the icons and select a section from the drop down list. Only one
section at a time can be open. If the Sidebar is not visible, go to View on the Menu bar and select
Sidebar from the context menu.
Properties
Opens sub-sections for object properties that you can change to suit your requirements. The
sub-sections are Insert Shapes, Character, Paragraph, Area, Line and Position and Size.
Styles and Formatting
Here you can edit and apply image styles to objects within your drawing. When you edit a
style, the changes are automatically applied to all of the elements formatted with this image
style in your drawing.
