Use the Contents pane and the information center's own control buttons to navigate around the information center.
When you select the Contents tab (
) at the bottom of the Contents pane, the Contents pane on
the left side of the window displays the navigation
structure. If you have not yet opened any topics, you'll see
the name of each product in the information center. Click on
the name of a product to see the titles of the topics
available for that product. The titles are displayed as a
navigation tree.
Select the topic titles in the navigation tree to display the topic content in the Topic pane on the right side of the window. Each topic has a header and footer, which contain information about the topic and further navigation choices. Topics also have links to the higher-level topic containing them (the parent topic) and to any lower-level topics that they contain (child topics). They might have links to further related topics.
To navigate within the history of viewed topics, use the
information center's own Back (
) and Forward (
) buttons.
To return to the navigation tree after running a search,
select the Contents tab (
) at the bottom of the Contents pane.
When you follow a link within a topic in the Topic pane
on the right, the navigation tree does not automatically
change to display and highlight the new topic. To see
where the new topic fits in the navigation tree and
synchronize the two views, click the Refresh button (
) or the Show in Table of Contents button (
). The topic title for the currently displayed topic is
highlighted in the navigation tree. You can also use
this button when you want to find out where a topic is
located that results from a search query.
