The Main Content Area

When you select an item in the Explorer, it is displayed in the main content area, where you view and configure base artifact details.

The navigation path at the top indicates which project path the open artifact belongs to. Various parts of the path are clickable, depending on whether you have access to those parts of the project.

The artifact name is also displayed at the top and is editable. Click it and edit inline as desired.

There can also be indicators beside the artifact name that displays the status of the artifact. For more information, see the Status Indicators section.

The Artifact Toolbar

The main content area also contains the artifact toolbar. The buttons in the artifact toolbar change (they may be greyed out or not visible) depending on the type of artifact loaded and what its current state is.
