It explains the command window for prompts and options, the status bar for snap and drawing aids, and the ribbon with tabs for sketching, annotation and management tools. It also covers interface customisation, including switching UI themes, modifying toolbars, adding commands, adjusting colours and enabling mouse gestures. Task panes such as Properties and Content libraries are shown as useful navigation and productivity aids
