The Navigation Pane appearance is configured in the Publication Interface Tab, as shown below:

If Show Navigation Pane is selected, the Pane will be visible when the Ebook starts, otherwise it will remain hidden until the user clicks the corresponding button or menu to show it.

Favorites is an optional panel. Only if Show Favorites is selected the user will have the choice to have Favorites.

The Default Tab option specifies which tab will be visible the first time. Default width sets the default Navigation Pane width, which can be modified by the user.

The button shows the Table of Contents Options sub-pane, by clicking it again, the sub-pane will be hidden.
