Tech/Engineering - IT (Information Technology) / schematic capture software-PCB board design
French term or phrase: un volet du triptyque
On passe du schéma à la mise en place des composants pour ensuite s’attaquer à l’autoroutage. À chaque fois on ouvre un nouveau volet du triptyque. La manipulation des composants est évidente.

some of these programs allow you to open more than one project at a time - not sure if that piece of info is helpful.

have not seen volet or triptyque anywhere else in this document, sorry

TIA

Explanation:
As I'm sure you know, a tryptych is a 3-panel altar-piece. In French, it often gets used for something consisting of 3 connected elements. Here, those appear to be:
a) the diagram/schema
b) component-placing
c) the "autoroutage"

If it's software, volet is often a window, or, more accurately, a panel within a window - what it is here would depend on how generally precise your author is with technical terms

pane or section are alternatives for panel.
Other than using triptych itself, which might be acceptable especially if all 3 panels/panes appear on screen at once (taking up a third each, for instance), I'm struggling for a good single-word English equivalent...

Possible get round (I always try to avoid this word like the plague) very rough, but you'll get the idea:

The procedure consists of passing (or just "we move from" - depends what style you're using) from the diagram to the placing of components before then attacking/starting the "autoroutage". Each time, a new panel is opened (or "we open a new panel") for the appropriate operation/operation concerned/design phase(?) involved.

What about - "Each time, a new panel is opened within the triple-panel (screen) layout" ?

I've decided to use your last suggestion which seems quite clear. I really wanted to avoid using tryptych - thanks Charlie!

folder pane


Explanation:
Take a look at this:
Folder pane not shown
This article applies to Thunderbird and Mozilla Suite.

Normally the folder pane, showing all your accounts and their various folders, should be displayed on the left-hand side of the main window. If for some reason you do not see the folder pane there, it is probably because you inadvertently closed it. To bring it back, just move your cursor to the far left side of the window until it changes into a double-headed arrow (?), and then drag the bar to the right. Mozilla Suite users can pop open the folder pane by simply clicking on the "grippy" in the middle of the bar at the left edge of the window.

For Thunderbird users, the grippies extension will give you the same grippies found in Mozilla Suite, so that you can toggle open/shut the folder pane, preview pane, etc. at a single click.

The folder pane contains the menu bar, tool bar, path entry, and folder list.

neutral  Charlie Bavington: no problem with "pane" (as I've suggested it myself!), but "folder" I'm not sure about, it doesn't *appear* to fit entirely with the context....
