Part 3 · Tree Editor Basics

Anatomy of an item

Every row in a Treetor column is an item, and every item has the same five parts: a grip, a number, the text, a state dot and an actions button. Learn them once and every guide after this reads faster.

The parts of an item

The selected row shows everything; unselected rows hide the actions button until you select them.

The parts of an item. Numbered callouts: 1 Grip and number, 2 Text, 3 State dot, 4 Actions, 5 A leaf.
  1. Grip and number — the dotted grip (⋮⋮) is where you drag the item; the number is its position in the column.
  2. Text — the item's text. Click to edit; Enter adds a line inside the item.
  3. State dot — teal: the item has children. Gray: it is a leaf with nothing underneath.
  4. Actions — the button opens the item menu (the same menu as right-click).
  5. A leaf — in the preview column, the gray dot marks items with no children.
