#1-6: Top bar
The following numbers correspond to the screenshot above.

See below for more information about the Tools menu.
3. Notifications icon
Click the bell icon to open notifications of news from Impress Engine.
4. Editing status
This area is blank before you make any editing changes and shows as Edited when there are any unpublished changes, even from previous sessions.
5. The Content panel show/hide icon
Click + to expand and x to close.
Note: This icon does not appear when the panel is pinned to the left or right side of the screen. Instead, there’s a show or hide icon at the bottom of the panel.
6. Done button
The behavior of this button depends on whether you’ve made any editing changes in this session.
- When the Done button is gray there have been no editing changes: Click Done when it’s gray and you exit the Impress Engine editor with one click.
- When the Done button is blue, there have been editing changes, and the status Edited appears to the left.
Click Done to open a choice of Discard, Save draft, Publish, or Cancel.

Warning: Changes in Impress Engine are preserved as you make them. When you click Discard, you lose all saved changes since the last time you published, and only publishing creates a revision you can go back to.
