So this section of the Wiki Manual gives the standardized names of Gramps screen elements. Armed with the standard names, you can more efficiently use a search engine (like Google) to find pages in the online manual that discuss that element. As an example, to search for Gramps Wiki Manual pages on the [https://www.google.com/search?q=navigator%20mode+site%3Agramps-project.org%2Fwiki "Navigator Mode" phrase], use following the Google search terms:

You can also add / remove and restore the default Gramplets by clicking the {{man button| ∨}} (''Down Arrowhead'' button) also known as the '''Gramplet Bar Menu''' at the far top right of the bars titles, and then using one of the options from the drop-down menu eg:

Its width limits how narrow the sidebar may be resized. The control can be made to disappear by using the Plugin Manager to hide (or remove) all but your single preferred Navigator ''sidebar'' mode. (When only one mode remains unhidden, there is no need for a menu and it will also become hidden.)

Gramps comes with number of different standard [[Gramps_Glossary#viewcategory|View categories as ]] built in, each of which has one or more standard[[Gramps_Glossary#viewmode|View modes]]. The built-in categories are described in the introduction to the [[Gramps_5.1_Wiki_Manual_-_Categories#Categories_of_the_Navigator|categoriesCategories of the Navigator]].

A [[Gramps_Glossary#viewcategory|View category ]] can contain different ways of presenting the data, called a [[Gramps_Glossary#viewmode|Viewmode]]. If there are several viewing modes, you can switch between modes interactively. The way you change between the modes depends on the Category View. The Configuration options for each mode are independently controlled.
