Note that each pane that provides an Information Panel includes different information that is in the context of the pane itself and its specific purpose. For example, one pane may include only a Tips page, while another pane may include Tips, Info, Tags, and Store pages. </p> </div> <h2 id="adjustment">Adjustment</h2> <div class="level2"> <p> The height of the panel can be manually adjusted, minimized to just the page labels, or collapsed completely. </p> <p> Adjusting the height of the panel is accomplished by clicking and dragging the <strong>Divider Bar</strong> that is positioned between the labels for the pages and the rest of the pane. Minimizing the panel, such that the page labels are still visible while the panel is closed, is accomplished by clicking the label of the forward-most page in the stack when the panel is expanded. Clicking the label of any page in the panel while it is in a minimized state will expand the panel and display the page clicked. </p> <p> <a href="/_detail/public/software/dazstudio/4/referenceguide/interface/panes/draw_settings/information_panel/info_panel_divider_bar.png?id=public%3Asoftware%3Adazstudio%3A4%3Areferenceguide%3Ainterface%3Apanes%3Adraw_settings%3Ainformation_panel%3Astart" class="media" target="_blank" title="public:software:dazstudio:4:referenceguide:interface:panes:draw_settings:information_panel:info_panel_divider_bar.png" rel="noopener"><img src="/_media/public/software/dazstudio/4/referenceguide/interface/panes/draw_settings/information_panel/info_panel_divider_bar.png?w=350&amp;tok=563760" class="mediaright" align="right" title="Divider Bar" alt="Divider Bar" width="350" /></a> </p> <p> To collapse the Information Panel completely, hover the cursor near the center of the divider bar until it becomes highlighted, and then click the <strong>Divider Bar Toggle</strong> once.
