with Projects.
Next to the Projects tab are two more tabs: Favourites, and Explorer. The Favourites tool shows a list
of favourite projects for quick access; you can add to or remove from this list. The Explorer tool lets
you browse your disks and open projects, delete them or add to Favourites.
Control Panel (3)
The Control Panel has a Build tab which shows the current configuration (loosely, the current format to
be generated), with buttons for compiling, checking and launching the book. Typically, you will:
•
Select a configuration for a particular format, such as Epub;
•
Click Compile to build the ebook;
•
Click Check to check the ebook for errors (Epub only);
•
Click Launch to view the ebook in an appropriate application, such as Adobe Digital Editions.
The control panel also shows the cover of the current project, which can be clicked to edit the design.
Next to the configuration list is an edit button which will show the configuration editor – giving you the
ability to change various things about the way the book is generated. We will cover configurations in
Chapter 9: Understanding Configurations.
The Control Panel
Next to the Build tab, the Files tab shows all the ebook files that have currently been generated for this
project, regardless of format. You can view the folder containing a selected file, view the file with the
appropriate helper application, or (for Epubs) examine the structure of the generated book.
