The Navigator panel is a convenient tool for managing many aspects of a document.
You can use the Navigator panel to better orient yourself in the document window and modify the document window display. For example, when you’re working at a high zoom level, or with a large image, you can use the Navigator panel’s small canvas preview to display the entire image without having to zoom out. You can also move to a different image area without having to adjust the zoom level. In addition, you can change the zoom level or rotate the canvas from the Navigator panel.

The Navigator lets you enable various tools such as the drawing modes, Impasto information, tracing paper, grids, and color management.
The Navigator panel also displays document information such as the X and Y coordinates and the cursor position to help you navigate the image. You can also view document width, height, and resolution. For more information, see Navigating images and viewing image information.
