ActivInspire window

When you run ActivInspire, the ActivInspire window opens behind the Dashboard.

What this window looks like depends on several things:

  • Your preferences at startup.

  • Whether you are using ActivInspire Professional or Personal.

  • Whether you have customised any of its components.

Here we introduce the main components of the ActivInspire window.

Tip

Look for these small icons at the top of Browsers, Menus and Toolboxes. They allow you to quickly customise an item's behaviour:

Toolbox Options

Select from a drop-down menu where the item should be located and how much of it should be visible.

Roll Up

A toggle switch to roll the item up so it takes up less space, or to unroll it again.

Pin Toolbox

A toggle switch to pin the item in place. This prevents it from automatically hiding, or from being moved accidentally.

To move an item, click in the yellow area along its top edge and drag and drop it where you want it.

Next time you run ActivInspire, it will remember your preferences.
