The Palette view is where you’ll find the widgets to use in your wireframes. You can change it’s position to the left side of the Screen Editor.
Various palette layout settings can be adjusted from the context menu. Right-click inside the palette to get access to it. You can make thumbnail icons smaller and make widgets display in a list. There is also a Customize… option that allows you to hide widgets in the palette.
You can place your own widgets and images in the palette by placing them in the “assets” folder in the root of your project. If needed, the location of the assets folder can be changed per project. To do this right-click on the project in the Project Explorer, choose Properties > Wireframing Settings and change the Assets Folder setting.
Use Mockups Gallery to add useful, pre-built assets by selecting Add Assets from Mockups Gallery… from the context menu.
The palette can also be open in its own view using Window > Show View > Palette. This gives you more layout options. You can even make the palette float above the editor area using detached views.
Palette items can be filtered using the search field. You can also filter by a pre-defined category using the category tree below the search field.
Palette is keyboard friendly. Click on a widget and then use Arrows and Tab to navigate around. Type a letter to quickly jump to a widget that starts with it. Press Enter to add the selected widget.
