1. A system for developing industrial applications, comprising:
a memory that stores executable components; and
a processor, operatively coupled to the memory, that executes the executable components, the executable components comprising:
a user interface component configured to render an industrial integrated development environment (IDE) development interface and to receive, via interaction with the development interface, industrial design input that defines aspects of an industrial automation project, wherein the development interface comprises
one or more workspace canvases configured to facilitate development of the industrial automation project, and
a global panel control bar comprising first visibility icons corresponding to respective global panels available to be invoked on the development interface, wherein the global panels are globally relevant to development tasks supported by the system and comprise at least a cross reference panel that lists a cross-reference of usages or instances of a selected element within the industrial automation system project; and
a project generation component configured to generate system project data based on the industrial design input,
wherein
the user interface component is further configured to, in response to selection of a visibility icon, of the first visibility icons, toggle a visibility of a global panel, of the global panels, corresponding to the visibility icon, and
the user interface is further configured to, in response to determining a development task, of the development tasks supported by the system, that has a current focus, render one or more second visibility icons that control visibility of respective one or more content panels that are relevant solely to the development task.
