The details pane is located on the right side of the page, presenting information and actions relating to selected items within the main content.

The details panel can have two modes:

In both modes, the pane can be collapsed and expanded using the collapse/expand bar on the left side of the pane (see below).
When no items are selected, the details pane will show an empty state (see States below).
When two or more items are selected, the pane will show either:
a combined view, aggregating data from all items, or
just the number of selected items (see States below).
The header displays the pane’s title, and may also contain:

If the content exceeds the height of its container, a Scrollbar will appear. The scrollbar will apply only to the content area, excluding the header and the action area, if exists.
Where relevant, an actions area will be shown at the bottom of the details pane, allowing users to perform pane-level (or tab-level) actions.
The action area may include elements such as indicators, buttons, and drop-down menus.

The collapse/expand area is located on the left side of the details pane.
An arrow is shown in the middle of the area:
when expanded, the arrow will direct to the right.
when collapsed, the arrow will direct to the left.
The details pane is attached to the right side of the page.
The pane has a fixed width.
The pane starts a few pixels below the VerinTop, to align with the page title. However, If the page contains a ribbon, the details pane will be attached to it.
The pane always stretches to the bottom of the page.

The default state of the details pane will be determined by each application separately.
The content area may contain any combination of elements, such as text, lists, cards, tables, forms, graphs, links. etc.
