Overview of the Main Window

The main window of Zeta Producer is similar to that of Windows Explorer:

• The left part of the main window contains the page structure view. All pages of your website are listed here. Every element in the page structure view corresponds to one HTML page of your website.
• The right part of the main window contains the integrated preview and the area view. In the area view the areas and articles are displayed. An area corresponds to a visually separated part of a web page (e.g. a box with news on the right part of a web page). Areas group articles. Articles are units (“paragraphs”) containing the actual information (text and images).
