===The Edit Pane===

===The Edit Pane===

The source article is displayed on the left, and the user's editing version is displayed on the right. The user can select text on the left but editing is disabled. There is a drop-down menu for users to select different source articles from the theme they are currently working in.

===The Format Pane===

===The Format Pane===

The format pane only deals with the user's working version. It gives them a standard formatting toolbar and they can apply formatting like they would in any regular text editor. Most of the formatting options are disabled in the prototype InfoSlicer tool.

===The Images Pane===

Much like the Edit pane, there is a drop-down menu for users to change article to other articles in the current theme. Clicking and dragging an image from the left will allow users to insert the image and caption into their article. The example shows that an image of a giraffe has been inserted.
