  4. -----------
  5. The |BlocksView|_ shows the building blocks of the current editor. This is a concept a bit different from other visual tools.
  6. The common in other videogame creation tools is to provide an asset browser that displays all the assets present in the project.
  7. The |BlocksView|_ displays only the assets, or "blocks", that can be used in a particular editor.
  8. For example, in the |AssetPackEditor|_, the user adds files to the |AssetPackFile|_. These files are shown as blocks in the |BlocksView|_, but when a user adds a file to the editor, that file is hidden from the |BlocksView|_ because it is already present there.
  9. The |InspectorView|_ shows the properties of the elements selected in the |BlocksView|_, or operations you can apply to them.
  10. The |BlocksView|_ is a `content viewer <../misc/content-viewers.html>`_: it shows an inline preview of its elements, you can zoom in/out it and filter its content.
