Side panels

Selecting a row opens a side panel. Which panels appear depends on which capabilities are installed, and they are grouped so the list stays navigable.

A tall side panel for a page called An awesome page, with Approval collapsed and Calendar expanded to show two dates, then a Tools heading with Versions, an expanded Attachments panel showing one thum — A page's panels run from the capabilities that found something on it down to the tools that read the page itself.

It is the difference between a search that finds pages and one you can actually work through.

#The three groups

A search side panel with headings General, Capabilities and Tools; Summary and Headings sit under General, Approval, Diagrams and Markdown under Capabilities, and Versions, Views and Metrics under Too — General sits at the top, the capabilities that found something in the middle, and the tools at the bottom, with the Diagrams panel opened to preview a diagram in place.

Group	Holds
General	Summary, Children, Headings, Properties
Capabilities	Panels contributed by other capabilities, which is the default bucket
Tools	Versions and Attachments from Search, plus Metrics, Tasks and others

#Search's own panels

Summary, Versions, Children, Attachments, Headings and Properties. These are present in both the standalone app and the Suite.

#A few things worth knowing

A panel from a capability you have not installed does not appear at all.
Panels read live page data, so they are current even when the index is behind.
The panel respects permissions exactly as the table does.
