About the Home Page

Home Page Actions

When you click Home , you go back to the home page.

No Recent Objects

When you first open Design Validation, the home page is empty. You can load content from the Search for Content or you can drag an object and drop it in the panel.

When you drag and drop and object in the home page, you can:

Add object in context.
Add object.
Add and Filter content.

The appearance of the selected area changes when you hover over it with the dragged object. If the area does not change, then the view is not added.

Recent Objects

If you have already opened an object, it appears on the home page as a recent object.
