You can access Continuous Protection Server features by using the menu bar that appears across the top of the Administration Console window. All features, menu options, wizards, and online help can be accessed by using navigation buttons and links in the Console.

Using the arrow, you can show or hide task groupings within the task pane at any time as well.

You can select the item that you want to work with from the selection pane. After the item is selected, all associated features are enabled. The selection pane appears to the right of the task pane. However, if you hide the task pane, the selection pane appears on the left side of the Administration Console window.
