Intelligent menus allow you a convenient way to make the most of your application workspace by giving you the ability to hide commands that are not frequently used.  These commands can be hidden from the user until they extend the menus by pressing the chevron button located near the bottom of the menu or by hovering their mouse over the menu title.
