Build an application interface with controls

This course introduces the controls available in Layout & Controls. Choose controls from the gallery across the top of the workspace, or press Ctrl+Space to use Quick Add. Quick Add can configure a control and bind a compatible named range before you place it on the canvas.

After placing a control, select it and use the Properties panel on the right. The current Designer organizes settings under Setup, Appearance, and Behavior.
