# User Interface

Artboard provides a clean user interface consisting of a drawing canvas, floating palettes, and layer list. Access functions through the main menu located along the top of the screen. In the main window, the toolbar provides quick access to commonly used palettes and functions. The layers list shows three default layers (Drawing Layer, Guides and Graph Paper) when opening a new empty drawing file. Additional layers can be added by the user.

Tools are used in combination with the Format Bar, Styles Inspector, and Styles & Clip Art palette. The Styles & Clip Art palette contains over 1700 editable clip art and styles organized into Collections and Categories.
