Composer has two modes, one for working with animations and another for working with views. Views are snapshots of viewport objects, called actors, and their properties.
Views are listed in the Views pane (left side of the Composer window). The toolbox model has four views:
The initial view is currently displayed because it is the first view in the Views pane.
If the animation icon is displayed, click the icon to switch from animation mode to view mode.
The slider assembly moves to its up position because the up custom view captured the position of those actors.
The slider assembly moves to the down position.
This view explodes the model and adds labels.
You can apply custom views to any normal view.
