The content panes display the home page, search results, the Editor, a folder's object list, and general library options. Contribute caches the content you've been working with during a session, so when you re-open the Search, Editor, or Folder screens, you see the last search results, topic, or object list. This enables you to switch between panes at any stage during your session without losing your work.
Open the content panes by clicking the buttons on the Library Toolbar, located at the top right of the Contribute interface.
