Tools Pages

 

Most of Tab-List Tool's functionality can be found within one of the eleven Tools pages. You can access any Tools page by clicking on an upper tab in the Tools area.

 

The 'Tools' area can be hidden or shown by clicking 'View > Hide Tools' in the Menu Bar, or by pressing 'Control+Shift+T' on your keyboard. This can be useful if you need more space on your screen whilst working in the WorkSpace area.

 

The Tools pages are:
