Resource Manager Toolbar

The Resource Manager window contains one Resource toolbar:

The Resource toolbar contains the management tools that allow you to manage the resources within your publication. Some of the buttons (especially the Management tools) on the toolbar will open new dialog boxes in which you can make various changes to the current settings for the selected resource.

The Resource toolbar can be split into four distinct groups of functions:

Choose tools	$image\Toolbar_Resource_Manager_Choose.jpg$
Show tools	$image\Toolbar_Resource_Manager_Show.jpg$
Management tools	$image\Toolbar_Resource_Manager_Management.jpg$
Undo/Redo tools	$image\Toolbar_Resource_Manager_Undo.jpg$

Each of these groups is described in detail below.

Note:
Each button on the toolbar has a tooltip, so if you linger over the button it will remind you what it does.

1. The Choose tools control the options displayed in the Organiser and the resources displayed in the Resource pane to the right of the Organiser.

2. The Choose by folder button in Choose tools – will display all folders on your system that contain resources used in your publication.
