The Parts page gives you quick and easy access to all of the parts found on the Composition Editor’s palette. As a result, you may hide the palette in order to conserve screen real estate. As all of the common visual parts are directly accessible from this page, you may find this page to be a more convenient mechanism for choosing part types (e.g., you don’t need to switch between categories to access labels, buttons and lists).
The ability to automatically invoke sticky mode via Alt-clicking on any of the buttons means that you can avoid frequent trips to the Sticky checkbox. If the Auto Sticky property is set (via the Setup Page), then all part adding functions will use sticky mode.
In addition to the most common visual parts that are directly accessible from this page, quite a few others are available by resizing the UI Assistant window (in floating mode only).
