Overview

The PROPERTIES pane lets you view and/or configure the attributes of the object is currently selected.

The tabs that it contains and the information shown in each tab are context-sensitive and depend on the object that is selected.

NOTE: You can reopen the pane by using the Views menu in the toolbar.

Properties Inspector Pane

Properties Inspector panes are additional panes that you can open by using the Open With context-menu command of an object.

Each pane displays the same type of information as the PROPERTIES pane but only of the object from which you open it. The name of the object appears in the title bar of the pane.

It makes it possible to view the properties of several objects at the same time.
