The Topic Editor Page is the main interface for all topic map editing. The page is split into two main sections. The left-hand section of the screen allows you to view and edit a single topic through a series of tabbed panels providing access to different features of the topic. The right-hand section of the screen is also split into two parts. At the top of the right-hand side is the Selected Topics List, this list acts like a clipboard, allowing you to put the results of searching for topics or creating topics into a list from which you can then select them for editing or for providing topic references when editing another topic. Below the Selected Topics List are a set of tabs providing different ways to access topics in the topic map and a tab to enable quick creation of topics. The diagram below shows all of these main areas of the Topic Editor Page.
