The navigation panel gives you direct access to everything relevant to the current Event, including three ways to organise and view the images, your templates (clicking on the Templates header shows templates instead of images), all the Products you’ve created for this Event, plus any Exports you’ve saved from them so far.

The navigation panel can be expanded for a detailed view, as in the screenshots above:

• Open the three image views to browse your images in Groups, Collections or Folders (click here for more about this).

• Open the Products header to show the various albums and slideshows we’ve created for this Event. You can open a Product directly by clicking on it in the panel. (If you’ve saved Exports from your products, such as high-res files for printing, or slide show movies, clicking on the Exports will open the containing folder.)

• Open the Templates header to view your Templates (click here for more about templates).
  

• Open the EXIF header to show data for the selected image (this requires one image only to be selected).

You can open Groups, Collections etc by clicking on them in the Navigation Panel, add or delete them
 by clicking on the icons (where they appear), and change their display order by right-clicking.
