32 Chapter 3, Workflow and Work Areas
In Simulation mode, tracks play back in the Simulation window’s preview area, which can
be set displayed at Half Size or normal size. In Design mode, the preview area serves as a
workspace for adding and editing button highlights, button links, subpicture effects, subtitle
text, and navigation commands.
The Simulation window has a number of tools that can be docked above the preview area,
as well as an Edit window (which displays properties for buttons, subpictures, PGC and
navigation commands) that can be docked below the preview area.
