===== The Panels =====

===What are panels?===
PIMSLS organizes extra information and controls in Panels.

In the example below you can see the concept of the pathologist cockpit come to life, with the slide browser, a custom form for data collection, colour adjustments, and slide metadata all visible at once.

===Why panels?===

It keeps your workspace clean and uncluttered so you can focus on just what you need.

Each panel can be resized and moved - click and drag the edges of the panel to resize, or click and drag the name of the panel e.g. Info to reposition it.

==== Opening and Closing Panels ====
==On the Home tab==
You can quickly open several using the Layouts on the Home tab, or click the Custom Layout button to toggle on and off each panel individually:
