19. Bookmarks, Selection Pane, Buttons and Navigation
19.3 The Selection Pane
View › Selection lists every object on the page (visuals, shapes, buttons, text boxes).
| Feature | How | Use |
|---|---|---|
| Show/Hide | Click the eye icon | Hide a table so a chart can be shown in the same place |
| Layer order | Drag items up/down in the Layer order tab, or Format › Bring forward / Send backward | Put a background rectangle behind visuals |
| Tab order | Tab order tab | Keyboard navigation order for accessibility |
| Group | Select several items (Ctrl + click) › right-click › Group › Group (or Ctrl + G) | Move/hide a whole panel (rectangle + slicers + close button) together |
| Rename | Double-click the name | Clear names like Chart_OrdersByCity, Table_OrdersByCity, Panel_Filters |
Tip
Rename objects in the Selection pane before you build bookmarks. "Chart 1" and "Table 3" are hard to manage later.
Ravindra Bagale's Tip
Mitrano, khup students leave visuals named "Clustered column chart 3" and then can't tell which one to hide. Rename every object in the Selection pane, group related objects, and use the eye icon rather than deleting visuals you only want to hide. Dhyan rakho!
