 On the right side of the Toolset is the Resource Palette, which has types categorized by icons. Click on each to browse. These are by default all Resources used in the Singleplayer Campaign, and are best left untouched. A better idea is to copy existing Resources into your own module. Each Resourcetype opens up a somewhat different layout of the Toolset, as requirements for editting are different. Thus the structure of each is explained at the particular Resourcetype.
-Any Resource has special Properties besides its "normal" ones, which tell what Module it belongs to. This is particulary important for internal references, and before doing anything a Custom Module should always be created. ''See [[Creating a module]]''

 The only way to delete resources involved in a circular dependency chain is to edit one or more of the resource to break the chain. For example, you could edit the area to remove the stage before deleting the stage, and then delete the area afterward. The toolset doesn't recognize a group of deletions as a single transaction.

		+	== Global Resource properties ==
		+
		+	Every such resource has the same set of generic properties that can be viewed by right-clicking on it in the palette window and selecting "properties". The general tab of the resulting popup window shows the following properties that can be modified:
		+
		+	* Resource name - This is the Resource Name. It must be unique across the entire database (not just the current module) and lower case. When the resource is created this name is also set as its tag. Oddly, the tag must be in lower case also. To edit the resource name, or any of the resource properties you must first save the resource, check it in, then right click on the name and select Properties. Once done be sure to right click on the resource name once more and select Refresh, this will update all the instances in the module with the new changes.
		+	* Folder - This setting will move the new Resource into a specific Folder of the Resource palette. This is only for navigational aid.
		+	* Module - Sets the environment of the Module, as either "Game Core Resource" or Module, where Module should equal the Owner Module. Exported Resources will be put into either the Core or Module directory of the Owner Module. The Game will treat Game Core Resources as available to other Modules, while setting Module makes a Resource only available within that Module. Other settings are irrelevant and treated as if setting the Owner Module.
		+	* Owner module - Sets the Module which shall inherit the Resource. The exported Resource is put into that Modules directory, and the Game will treat that Resource as only available when the Module is activated. Default should always be the custom Module you are working on. Other settings can cause potential problems.
		+	* State - A flag that can be set to NONE, Written, Edited, Pre-localization, Localization, Voice over, Voice over ready. {{undocumented}}
		+
		+	The "references" tab lists all of the other resources that this resource contains references to, and the "referenced by" tab lists all of the other resources that contain references to this one.
