simultaneously, the SDS software provides several navigational devices to help
manage the information. This lesson will teach you to use the different aids to reduce
screen clutter and ensure efficient use of the software.
You can resize the panes, views, and plots of plate documents by moving the grey
lines dividing them horizontally and vertically.

The software expands the plate grid and table pane to the new width.
2. Using the grey dividing lines, resize other elements of the plate document until
you are comfortable using the feature.
You can also toggle the presence of the plate document panes, views, and plots using
the icons in the Display toolbar.

The software removes the table pane from the plate document.
2. Click again to show the table pane.
