-* '''Active 4D Bundle panel:''' This panel allows choosing the active time series bundle node from MRML scene. If you choose "Create New TimeSeriesBundle", the module creates a time series bundle node with no volumes. You can add any volume nodes in the scene from the '''Editor''' panel.
+* '''Active 4D Bundle panel:''' This panel allows choosing the active time series bundle node from MRML scene. All operations on the rest of the panels are applied to this bundle node. If you choose "Create New TimeSeriesBundle", the module creates a time series bundle node with no volumes. You can add any volume nodes in the scene from the '''Editor''' panel.
 * '''Load / Save panel:''' This panel is used to load and save 4D images. To load a 4D image, first specify the directory that contains the volumes from "Brows Input Directory" dialog box, and then press "Load Series" button.
 * '''Control panel:''' This panel provides sliders to scroll the 4D images in the time dimension. The panel allows scrolling foreground and background images independently. The module can also automatically scroll the images with interval specified in the entry in the panel.
