The Navigator pane, located along the left-hand side of OpenSquiggly, is how you will build and organize your document tree.

Whichever current document you are on, the navigator displays the list of child pages for that page.

The following chapters discuss various ways in which you can rearrange your document tree, copy page references to other parts of the document tree, or add an existing page which is not already in your document tree.

Creating a mount point merely makes the documents and source code files in that mount point available to potentially be added to your document tree. To all mounted files to appear in your document tree, create a mapped page.

There are 3 types of pages in OpenSquiggly: topic pages, mapped topic pages (sometimes more simply called 'mapped pages'), and virtual pages.

Your document tree is a hierarchically arranged set of references to pages. When you remove a page from the document tree, it merely removes a reference to the page. The page still exists and can be added back into your document tree at any time.

At times you may wish to focus on one section of your document tree, while ignoring all other documents. This can be particularly helpful if you are focusing on a task, bug, or user story, and only want to see documents and files that are relevant to the work at hand.
