## Overview - Studio Explorer

The Studio Explorer panel appears on the left-hand side of the MiCOM S1 Studio interface. It displays a virtual system of managed devices. The system is displayed as a tree with different nodes, referred to as elements.

There are several main element types, including:

- systems
- substations
- voltage levels
- bays
- devices
- connections
- settings
- measurements
- events
- log records
- disturbance records
- folders
- files

Elements in tree view can be expanded or collapsed by using +/- in the tree view. You can also use the Studio Explorer toolbar to perform common functions.

The function of each icon on the toolbar appears if you hover the mouse cursor over the icon. Icons will be added to or removed from the toolbar automatically as you access different elements of your scheme.

Each element shown in the Studio Explorer panel has a set of properties - these are listed in the Properties pane on the bottom left of the MiCOM S1 Studio interface.

The properties pane shows details of the currently highlighted element in the tree view.
