The HelpServer Workbench uses tabs on top of the right pane to select the work mode of the object that is currently selected in the tree on the left.
The work modes
| • | 'Edit' is the mode in which you are going to work most of the time. |
| • | 'Properties' is a control panel to handle the object's behavior such as security, workflow, notification, auditing etc. If you are using a trail version you can change all these objects. But in a real project this would be the administrator's or the project leader's responsibility. |
| • | 'Translate' is to enter and/or to check translations. |
In the beginning you will be using the 'Edit' work mode most of the time. If you read through this documentation every now and then you will be instructed to switch to another work mode. Just make sure you switch back to the 'Edit' work mode afterwards.
Some important remarks:
| • | If you change the work mode of a folder then its dependent objects are automatically switched to the chosen work mode of their parent folder. Afterwards, you can manually switch the dependants to another work mode. |
| • | Most editing functions performed on an object in the tree will automatically switch the object back to its 'Edit' work mode. |
| • | An object's work mode is remembered after refreshing it but if you refresh a folder the dependants will always revert to the work mode of their parent folder. |
| • | If you (re)start the Workbench all objects operate in the 'Edit' work mode. |
