What does the Control Panel provide?

• A. Options for modifying selected frames, graphics, or text.
• B. A list of color swatches.
• C. Tools for exporting documents.
• D. A history log of edits.

Answer: (A)

The Control Panel is the context-sensitive toolbar that updates to show the options you need for whatever you’ve selected. If you select a text frame or text, it reveals text formatting controls such as font, size, leading, alignment, and other typography settings. If you select a graphic or image frame, it presents object controls like fill and stroke, opacity, corner options, fitting, and text wrap. This immediate, in-context access makes it easy to modify frames, graphics, or text without hunting through menus. The other items live in different parts of the interface—color swatches are managed in the Swatches area, exporting tools belong to the export workflow, and an edit history log isn’t part of the Control Panel.
