The Navigate Layout window enables you to view the framework of your site.

You can view resources (pages, frames, frame sources, internal resources, external resources), and links to and from these resources. The resources are placed on this layout in spiral way to make resources and links effectively visible. The colors of the Internal and External links, and Selected or Orphan pages are defined in the Website Tab of the Preferences dialog box.

Navigate Layout has two modes of updating. When the Refresh button pressed, the screen is updated automatically along with updating the whole Web site. You can have the Refresh button as loosed, and the screen will not be updated when you switch to the Navigate Layout tab. This is especially useful in case of large web sites containing many resources and links.
When the Refresh button depressed, every time you switch to the Navigate Layout tab only the pages and resources will be displayed since the whole structure is every time generated anew.
In addition, when the Refresh button depressed, any web element or image can be opened for editing by double-clicking.

Here you can select one or more resources.

The resources displayed in the Navigate Layout are:

To display any of those items, click an appropriate button (Include Pages, Include Resources or Include External Locations) on the toolbar or choose an appropriate item from the Navigate Layout > Include menu. If the specified item in the Navigate Layout > Include menu is checked, the item is displayed in the Navigate Layout. Otherwise, resources of this type are not displayed.

When you select a resource, it's color shows if this resource is Orphan (no incoming links) or not. These colors are set in the File > Preferences menu option.

Four type of links can be displayed in this layout and those include:

To view links of a selected type, press either an appropriate button on the toolbar or check an appropriate link type in the Navigate Layout > Show Links menu.

When Show Always option checked (from toolbar or from Navigate Layout menu), the links are displayed for all visible resources of this layout. If this option is cleared, then links are displayed for selected resources only.
