Toolbar

The toolbar provides commands:

Command	Description

	Opens the Model Overview panel. Not available in a read-only view.
	Opens the Experiments panel.
	Activates cell background editing for the map. Only available when using a cell template.
	Activates entity creation for the map, the Creation panel opens when you click in the map area. Not available in a read-only view.
	Displays a legend for the pathway model open in the map area.
	Opens a list of other available pathway models with which to merge this model. For more information, see Merging Models.
	Opens a file download dialog box. Choose the location and file name to use to save the file on your computer. Not available in a read-only view. For more information, see Exporting Models.
	Displays a video introducing the Living Map app.

Map Area

The map area provides an overview of the pathway model as well as an interactive display of entity and interaction properties (initial state, formulas, effect).

When any of the panels are open and docked to the map area, click or to hide or show the panels.

When any of the panels are open and not docked to the map area, click and to maximize and minimize the panels.

for a selected entity or interaction: Displays the entity or interaction's Information panel.

for a selected entity: Allows you to connect the entity with any other entity or interaction in the model, opening the Create interaction panel.

The icons for the entities in the pathway model and their connections indicate their types and how they contribute to the behavior of the system.

Each entity in the pathway model has a tooltip reporting its type, also indicated by a symbol. The entity types help to quickly distinguish between different protein families, drug modalities, nucleic acids and so on.
