Content Editor Layout

The Test Content Editor allows you to create content for tests and their associated items, while the Item Content Editor allows you to create content for items individually.

Figure 1 provides an overview of the Test Content Editor layout. The Item Content Editor layout is similar, but it has fewer toolbar options and does not include the Test Outline panel.
