Elements of the screen
The SilverStripe CMS administration screen is fundamentally divided into two, where the left side displays a hierarchical navigation pane of items (e.g. pages, images, newsletters etc) and the right side displays the content and details of the currently selected item. Additional, smaller panes may be displayed depending on the item currently selected.

| Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Navigation Icons | These icons enable you to navigate to and edit the four main groups of items within SilverStripe CMS; Content, Files & Images, Newsletters and Security. Click on the relevant icon to display the associated information in the current window. |
| 2 | Contents pane | The pane on the left side of the screen displays the contents of the selected section in a hierarchical format. The existence of, and access to, sublevels of items is indicated by a plus icon |
| 3 | Edit Page pane | Once you have selected an item in the left pane, the contents and properties of that item will be displayed in the right pane on a number of tabbed pages. These tabbed pages may contain a subset of tabbed pages. A toolbar is displayed at the top of the page. This pane enables you to edit the content and properties of selected items. |
| 4 | Navigation tabs and sub-tabs | These tabs and their collection of sub-tabs group the contents and details of the currently selected item. This enables you to easily locate the information or property that you require. |
| 5 | View tools | These three tools enable you to switch between the three views available within SilverStripe CMS. |
