Working with Elements on the Page

Once the Visual Editor is loaded you can move your mouse around the page to highlight an element as shown below.

The element will highlight in blue, the title will display and a toolbar will appear in the upper right. The toolbar varies based upon the type of element that you are working with. The possible tools that appear on this menu are:

Often times elements will be nested on the page so access their toolbars directly is not possible. When you hover over a toolbar icon, a flyout menu of all the parent elements will appear as shown below. This allows quick access to any element on the page simply by hovering over that part of the page that contains it.
