QElectroTech GUI has been designed to work using the `menu bar`_ and `panels`_. The `menu bar`_ is fixed at top. The `panels`_ can be displayed 
and hidden. 

To display or hide `panels`_:

    1. Select **Settings > Display** menu item to display the `panels`_ and `toolbars`_ list.
    2. Click on the different `panels`_ (Projects, Collections, Undo, Selection properties and Auto numbering Selection) which should be displayed or hidden.

All `panels`_ can be displayed at right and left side from `workspace`_. The `panels`_ can 
be organized on column or by tabs. The `panels`_ can also be displayed as PopUp/floating 
windows.
