Displaying a Context Menu
A context menu contains frequently used commands, making those commands readily accessible
in the panel in which you work. The command options available will vary depending on what
panel the mouse pointer is in when you right click.
To display a context menu:
t Right-click on the panel in which you want to work, and then select a command from the
context menu.

In the Directory panel, when you display the context menu, the options will reflect the location
of your cursor. For example, when you select a queue icon, the Properties menu option will apply
to that queue. If a folder icon is selected, the Properties menu option will apply to the directory
and its contents.
Arranging Multiple Workspaces
In iNEWS, you can arrange many workspaces in the main window. This allows you to work on
several stories at once with the workspace layout you like best.
To arrange multiple workspaces:
t Do one of the following:
- Select Window > Auto Arrange > option (either Off, Horizontally, or Vertically).
- Select one of the three arrangement buttons on the right of the Layout toolbar, shown
below:
The open workspaces are arranged according to the arrangement choice you made.
Switching Between Workspaces
While the iNEWS Workstation allows you to open up several workspaces at once, to work in a
particular workspace, that workspace must be active. A workspace is active when its title bar is a
different color from the other workspaces.
To switch between workspaces:
t Click on any part of the workspace.
