Panel Tab

The Panel tab contains information about the currently selected panel, including its name, length and the scene to which it belongs. The Panel tab is also used to keep track of text and audio notes relating to the panel and the shot it describes.

In the Drawing Workspace, the Panel tab is the location where you can enter textual information about the current panel. By default, you can use one of the fields that is displayed in the tab, but you can use the commands in the Caption menus to customize your text field display.
