You can twice click a tag string in the table in order to highlight the tag in the tree and open that tag in the editor.

Under the menu area, a name of the current configuration file is displayed (see Server Configuration ):
The status bar (in the bottom window part) displays a server mode (following the words Server mode) as well as license limitations:
