The Explore Pane and tab is primarily used to navigate the website page and file folder hierarchy. Once you find a page and click on it, two things will happen. First, the form for editing that page will usually appear in the work panel under the Content tab. Second, some basic information about the page will appear in the Page Tools. Pages can be found either by browsing through the site hierarchy in the Explore tab or by a keyword search in the Search tab.
There are two versions of Presto that show the Explore tab in slightly different ways, as shown below. Both are similar to the Windows File Explorer. The screen captures below show a typical Explore tab when a user logs in.

A. The Explore tab gives the "files and folders" view of the site.
B. Click the Search tab to find web pages, files, and other data by keyword.
C. Home Page: This is your website's home page, indicated by a little house icon. All pages that appear within a website can be found by looking within this section. In some cases, there may be more than one website listed (for example, an additional site for members only).
D. Presto Configuration / Admin Section: This is the top level of an administration menu, and since it contains sensitive configuration information for your website, it is usually viewable only by Presto programmers and system administrators. Various forms and databases can be administered here. It is not a page on your website, and you usually won't see this if you login as a content manager.
E. Reports: Content managers and system administrators have access to a variety of reports which are found here.
F. User Accounts: Content author, manager and system administrator accounts are usually listed here. Content authors and managers shouldn't normally see this item.
Note that other top-level menu items can be set up by system administrators; similarly the above items may be located down from the top level in a customized Presto installation.
The following diagram shows an expanded Home Page.

G. The plus  and minus  icons indicate that a page or menu item has subordinate pages or items that can be or are being listed. A web page that has sub-pages is often called a "section". Clicking on a to view sub-pages or items is called "expanding". When the icon shows a minus sign, the section is expanded and the sub-pages are shown below.
H. Each page (or item) in the website hierarchy has an associated icon to indicate it's type. For a full list of icons see Page Type Icons. An icon has three functions:
- It indicates the page type, or type of content that the page contains.
- It can be used to select the page. Click on an icon and it will turn red. This indicates that it is selected.
- It can be used to drag-and-drop the page to another location on a website, or to a different ordering underneath a parent page. An introduction to this is on the Linking Pages page.
I. The blue "p" that appears to the right of a page title indicates that that page is private. See "The Properties Tab" for more information about private pages.
J. The blue "d" or "a" that appears to the right of a page title indicates that the page is in draft mode or is an archived page, respectively. If neither of these appear, then the page is "live", that is, publicly viewable. Details are available about publishing, archiving, and content versioning.
K. The red "H" that appears to the right of a page title indicates that that page is on hold. See "The Properties Tab" for more information about the hold function.
L. Presto Version 2.2 also has Deselect, Sync, and Reset buttons, as well as 6 columns that indicate website related settings for each item.
