What is the Element Detail Pane?

The Element Detail Pane is the primary method of interfacing with and inputting data for Element fields. It is found on the right hand side of the screen (on larger displays) or filling the screen (on small displays) after clicking on an Element from a view or navigating to it via URL.

If you are in a Document View, you can click the button on your bottom toolbar to open the Element Detail Pane, or click on any of the field data in the layout to jump to that field. You cannot be editing the document view layout for this to work.

See below for further information on the different sections of the Element Detail Pane.
