Explorer

The Explorer panel displays a hierarchical view of the report structure, starting from the top-level Report, followed by nested sections like Continuous Section and Body. This layout helps users understand the organization of report components and navigate between them efficiently. The panel highlights the selected item and allows switching to others with a single click. It supports basic actions such as pinning the panel and integrates with the Properties panel for quick editing of selected elements.
