Introduction

In this episode, we'll master how to open any panel from the Window menu, group panels, save your own workspace, and restore a cluttered interface with just one click. Let's get started. Hello, welcome back to the complete Adobe Illustrator series from Cerdas Inovasi Digital. Illustrator has dozens of panels. We don't need to open all of them, just the ones we use frequently. A workspace is an arrangement of panels that can be saved and recalled anytime.

Step 1: Panels from the Window menu

All panels are found in the Window menu. They are ordered alphabetically, align, appearance, artboard, brush, character, color, up to transparency. Select Window then Stroke, and the Stroke panel opens directly in the lower right panel area.

Step 2: Collapsed icon panel

The icon column on the left side of the panel area contains grouped panels that are collapsed. Click the color circle icon to open the Color panel, click the box icon for Swatches, and the A icon for Character. One click opens, click again to switch to another group.

Step 3: Click inside the panel group

Each group contains several tabs. In the Stroke group, there are tabs for Stroke, Gradient, and Transparency. In the Align group, there are Align, Pathfinder, and Transform. Click the tab name to switch without opening a new window. The top panel contains tabs for Properties, Layers, and Libraries.

Step 4: Properties, Layers, Libraries

Properties is a versatile panel whose content changes according to the selection. Layers manage the arrangement of objects, and Libraries save cloud-based creative assets.

Step 5: Save new workspace

Once the panel arrangement is comfortable, save it as a workspace. Select Window, Workspace, New Workspace. Name it Design Factor and click OK. This workspace appears in the list and can be selected anytime. If panels are accidentally closed or the interface is cluttered, don't panic.

Step 6: Reset workspace

Select Window, Workspace, then Reset Essential Classic. All panels return to their original position.

Done!

Done. We have opened panels from the window menu, using panel icons and tabs, learned about properties, layers, and libraries, saved our own workspace, and reset the workspace. In the next episode, we will set preferences, units, and rulers. Need a logo design, brand identity, illustration, infographic, or print and social media materials?
