For panels based on elements such as the Rule Editor, you can either open a panel per element or a panel for all the elements (a multipanel). For example, when you open a Rule Editor, you can decide to freeze the panel in order to keep the Rule Editor for this specific rule. A new Rule Editor is opened when you select a new rule. You can modify the behavior of the panels at run-time using the two buttons available in the Editor pane title bar.

When the
button is in the horizontal position and you click on an element in the Project Explorer pane, the content of the Editor pane is updated. That is, the current element is replaced by the new one. Each time you click an element in the Project Explorer pane the Editor pane is updated.

When the
button is in the vertical position, and you click on an element in the Project Explorer pane, the new element is displayed in the Editor pane as a new panel on top of the other(s), and a tab is added to access it. To maintain this behavior, the button must be set to the vertical position in each new panel created. Use the tabs to navigate between panels and click the button to switch between single and multipanel modes.
