Customizing the Dreamweaver 8 workspace 39
In All mode, the CSS Styles panel displays two panes: an All Rules pane
(on top), and a Properties pane (on bottom). The All Rules pane displays a
list of rules defined in the current document as well as all rules defined in
style sheets attached to the current document. The Properties pane lets you
edit CSS properties for any selected rule in the All Rules pane.
Any changes you make in the Properties pane are applied immediately,
letting you preview your work as you go.
For more information about the CSS Styles panel, see “About the CSS
Styles panel” in

a workspace layout. You can switch to a different workspace at any time.
