This doc will teach you our terminology inside of Showit! This will help you better understand the platform as well as better communicate with your Showit Support Pro when you need a helping hand.
First a brief layout of the whole platform: on the left we have the Site Panel, on the right the Properties Panel, and at the bottom is our Bottom Tool Bar.
Now let's look a bit more closely at our site panel.
First let's explore the page tab in the left site panel of Showit
Site tab - found in the left site panel, which we will look at closer in a moment.
Page tab - where you will see the page you are currently on and the canvasses on that page.
Page Heading - indicates the page you are on, in this case the home page. All canvasses included on that page are listed below.
Canvasses - Canvasses are the building blocks which you add content to to make up each page in your site.
A). Text icon - click here to add a new text box, it will give you options to choose the type of text you want to ad, which you can control in your design settings. B). Elements icon - click here to add elements to your site like; shapes, icons, embed code, videos, and galleries. C). Media Library icon - click here to open your media library and add a single image to a canvas.

Last but not least, let's look at a canvas on a page
10. Page - jus to reiterate, this page heading indicates the page we are working on.
11. Canvas views -these little folders are canvas views the first canvas view on any canvas is the default view for that canvas. Each canvas view is denoted by the number to the right of the folder, view 1, view 2, view 2, etcetera.
12. Canvases - These smaller layers under the page heading are the canvases that make up your page (in this example the home page).
