Click on the relevant tab to display the associated information in the current window.
The following Navigation tabs are part of a your MySites installation:

2. Tree Management
The Tree Management area (found on the left of the page, just to the right of the Navigation Tabs) displays the Site Tree in hierarchical format. The page you are working on will be shown on the right, in the Page Management area. Click on the page in the tree, you want to work on or add a new page. You can also switch to 'edit' mode with the "Edit Tree" button, where you can rearrange your page hierarchy or multiple-modify page status. Because pages can be placed 'beneath' one another in the hierarchy, you may need to expand items in the tree to see all of them.
3. Page Management
The Page Management area (on the right hand side of the page) shows various data relating to individual pages such as page name, navigation label (label in the menu), URL and general content. The text and image content of each page is edited through the content editor, and more advanced users can also select to edit the page's html directly.
4. Publishing Bar
The Publishing bar on the bottom of the page allows you to save, delete, publish (make publicly available), unpublish or preview your work (published or draft versions). The options for previewing the draft or the published site are shown on the bottom left of the page, when in preview mode.
