Properties is where you inspect and edit the selected node or nodes. Select a node on the Canvas to show its name, description, values, and available actions.

Inspect a node

The top of Properties identifies the selected node. Depending on the node, the panel can include:

• The node's name, type, and icon.
• A description of what the node does.
• Editable properties and actions.
• Links to related information.
• Instance or deprecation information.
• Controls for assets, scripts, files, or other node-specific features.

The properties can be hidden when you want more room for the Canvas.

Rename nodes

Select the rename button next to the node title, enter a new name, and finish editing to save it.

When several nodes are selected, Properties can show and update their names together. Numbered names remain coordinated where possible.

Edit values

Each property uses a control suited to its value. Controls can include toggles, text fields, number fields, sliders, color controls, dates, durations, angles, points, sizes, rectangles, transforms, gradients, resolutions, lists, menus, and keyframes.

Some properties can receive their value in different ways:

• Constant uses the value entered in Properties.
• Spatial changes the value across a 2D or 3D area.
• Connection receives the value from another node.
• Script calculates the value from an expression.
