The cover elements are designed in the drawing area. The drawing area consists of tabs for the different cover elements that belong to the selected document type or that you have added to a user-defined type, as well as the rulers at the top and on the left.  
You can use the tabs in the drawing area to switch between the individual cover elements. If you want to view multiple cover elements at the same time, you can select the cover elements that should be visible from the View menu: The drawing area will then be divided into subwindows.
On the tabs you will find:
 
 
 
§
an editable, unshaded area the size and shape of the selected cover element where the cover element is designed, and
§
a shaded, non-editable area.

 

 
 
The gray line in the editable area is the edge of the cover element. The white outer margin represents the bleed area, which you can configure on the Printing tab of the Application Preferences window (see Application Preferences Window).
