You can see buttons representing various parts of the entry, followed by the definitions and quotations. We'll spend more time discussing the details of the entry layout later. Note for now the label at the top of the entry, which shows you that you're looking at the Second Edition entry, first published in 1989, and the Additions button which alerts you to the existence of supplementary material at the bottom of the entry.

If you were now to scroll to the bottom of the entry, you would see the material illustrated in the next step.
