Fabric Project Tree

A Fabric project has a tree-like structure known as the Project Tree which displays components in a hierarchical order. Each entity in the tree initiates different actions.

The Project Tree is displayed on the left side of the Fabric Studio window.

To initiate an action, right click a component and select the action. For example, to create a new flow right click Broadway in the Project Tree.
