The Sheet List tab  displays an ordered list of sheets. You can organize these sheets under headings, called subsets, that you create.

List of Options

This tab has the following buttons:

Publishes selected sheets or a sheet set to a specified PDF file.
Publish to Plotter
Automatically publishes the selected sheets to the default plotter or printer.

Preview (at the bottom of the window)
