Contextual Tabs and Panels

Design Review contains one contextual tab and one contextual panel. By default, the Animation tab is hidden. However, when a sheet containing an animation is shown on the canvas, this context causes the Animation tab to be shown. The Animation tab provides access to tools used to control how an animation is played.

The Animation tab is shown only when viewing an animation

Like the Animation tab, by default, the File panel is hidden by default. When a Design Review file is embedded, this context causes the File panel to be shown on the Home tab. The File panel provides access to tools typically available on the application button and Quick Access toolbar, which are unavailable in embedded mode. You can also show the File panel manually.
