<h1>Palette</h1>
<p>
The primary editing, creation and viewing tools of the BPEL Designer

<h5>Selection Tools</h5>
<p>
The <strong>Selection Tool</strong> is used to select individual activities in the editors drawing
canvas. Multiple activities can be selected by holding the <strong>CTRL</strong> or <strong>SHIFT</strong>
keys in combination with left mouse click. The <strong>Marquee Tool</strong> allows selection of
groups of activities by dragging a selection rectangle around them.
</p>
<h5>Tool Drawers</h5>

BPEL activities are created by dragging icons from the labeled <strong>Actions</strong>,
<strong>Controls</strong> and <strong>Faults</strong> palette sections
(or drawers), onto the editor's drawing canvas. These sections can be collapsed and expanded
by clicking on individual palette section titles. They can also be <em>pinned</em>
to prevent them from collapsing if another section is expanded.
</p>
<h5>Zoom Tools</h5>
<p>
The tools at the bottom of the <strong>Palette</strong>
are used to expand or shrink the drawing canvas.
