Introduction
When you open a project in Shy Editor, the default user interface looks as follows:
- Binder
- Editor
- Project tool window
- Navigation bar
- Status bar
Depending on your web browser, platform, Shy Editor subscription, and settings, your UI might look slightly different.
Binder
The binder displays the structure of your project and allows you to manage your sheets.
- Change the order of your sheets by dragging them using the drag handle
- Delete a sheet by clicking the 'Delete' icon
- You can change the project display to the Corkboard View
- Switch between viewing all sheets and viewing your bookmarks
You can also right-click the project title or a sheet to bring up the context menu with even more options.
Editor
Use the editor to write, read and edit your text.
You can learn more about you can do in the editor in the Edit and format section.
Project tool windows
Tool windows provide functionality that supplements editing text. For example, the 'Overview' tool displays information about the sheet and project outlines and status.
You can learn more about available tools in the Tools and AI assistant sections.
Navigation bar
The navigation bar at the top provides controls to navigate the various options that Shy editor offers in a project.
- Toggle binder open/closed
- Go back to your home page with a list of your projects
- Add a new sheet to the project
- Open Search
- Toggle Assistant window open/closed
- Toggle Tools window open/closed
Status bar
The left part of the status bar at the bottom of the main window shows the current project sync status. If you hover over the sync status with the mouse pointer you can see detailed information about whether the project has been saved, what is the current sync status, when was the last time the local project was synced with the server, and a description of any errors that occurred.
