Above every Web page in Dreamweaver is a page bar. This includes the name of the page (Untitled-1, in the above image) and the document title. Another useful feature is the ability to toggle between Code View and Design view. This means that developers who are comfortable with HTML can edit their documents right in the HTML, rather than working solely with the WYSIWYG editor. There is even a split view, to see both the HTML code and the design at the same time.

On the right of the page title are your document management tools. These include the browser check tool to check your document for errors in specific browsers, the upload/download tool to get your pages onto your Web site, the preview button to preview your pages in an actual browser (not the Dreamweaver editing browser), and options. These are very handy tools. I use the preview and browser check functions all the time to verify my pages.
