The Back-End Layout


The TYPO3 back end is set out into three main sections:

On the left there is the Module Bar, which contains all of the available modules.

In the middle there is the Navigation Area, which generally contains a tree structure of the website.

On the right-hand side there is the Details View, which is normally where various aspects of pages and settings are changed.

At the bottom of each page, there is a handy Search Box, which allows you to search for pages and content, and the Workspace Switcher, which allows you to switch between live and draft workspaces.
