You can preview the layout of a master home page while you are modifying it.
You can view and edit existing portal panes that are already displayed on a particular home page. You can also add other existing portal panes from the Content tab of an existing home page. Further, you can create new portal panes directly from the master home page. For details, see Creating Portal Panes from a Master Home Page.
After clicking the Content tab, a layout preview of the selected home page appears, along with the Select Portal Pane drop-down list. All of the portal panes that appear on the Content tab function exactly as they would on the user's home page. You can modify the function, position, and size of these portal panes by clicking the buttons that appear in the Title Bar of each individual portal pane. These buttons will always be visible to you on the Content tab, even if they are not visible to the user on the user home page.
