This pane appears on the left hand side of the main window. It lists all the snippets in the database. Snippets can be grouped in three ways: by category, using the Categorised tab, alphabetically, using the Alphabetical tab or by snippet kind using the Snippet Kind tab.

Selecting a snippet displays a description and its source code while selecting a section heading lists all the currently selected routines in the section along with their descriptions.
