# Edit a panel

The Panel Designer has two main panes:

* **Left pane.** A top bar with the channel link, then a **live preview** of the panel as it will render in Discord.
* **Right pane.** A context-aware editor. What appears depends on what is selected.

## How the editor works

The left pane is a live preview of your panel as it will look in Discord. To edit any part of it, click that part in the preview. Clicking a component on the left opens its editor on the right: clicking an embed opens the embed editor, clicking a button opens that button's settings, and so on. The gear icon opens the panel-wide defaults.

The send channel is set during the creation wizard, so a new panel already has a channel by the time you reach the editor. To move it to a different channel later, see [Move a panel](/docs/panels/move-a-panel.md).

## Saving

Your changes are not live until you save. When you have unsaved edits, a bar appears at the bottom with **Save** and **Reset**. Save applies your edits, and Reset discards them. If you try to leave with unsaved edits, the dashboard asks you to confirm first.

If a required field is missing, the Save button stays disabled until you fill it in.

## Will editing disturb open tickets?

**No.** Edits to a panel only affect the panel message and **future** ticket openings. Tickets currently open continue exactly as they were.

## Will I need to resend the panel after editing?

**No.** The panel message in Discord auto-updates when you save. Resending is only needed if the panel message was deleted.
