Abstract
Progressive functionality command and object access for object and other content insertion and modification are provided. In a software application user interface, when a given command is selected, where the command is a parent command having one or more child commands, a subset of all available child commands under the selected parent command may be provided in the user interface in proximity to the selected parent command. If a user needs more or different commands than are presented in the subset, a contextual pane may be selectively presented in the user interface having a number of additional available commands for selection by the user. Once the contextual pane is displayed, it may stay displayed until it is manually or automatically dismissed.
