Editor Views

The Session Editor provides a set of dockable views that open as panels alongside the central transcript. Views are accessed using the icon buttons on the left and right sidebars, or from the View menu.

Clicking a sidebar button toggles the corresponding view panel open or closed. When open, a view appears as a panel docked to the left, right, or bottom of the transcript. Each view panel has a title bar with buttons to resize, undock, access its menu, and close.
