The side panel is located on the left side of the application window. It provides controls, settings, and actions relevant to the currently selected device and the current operation.
The exact content of the side panel varies between apps, but it typically includes:
- Action buttons for the main operations of the app (for example, programming, tracing, or scanning).
- Settings and configuration options specific to the selected device.
- Connection status information.
- The Show Side panel toggle.
The side panel sections update dynamically based on whether a device is selected and the type of device connected. Before a device is selected, the side panel usually provides options to select a device and access general settings. After selection, additional controls and device-specific options become available.
