Properties Panel

The Properties panel is a convenient tool to visualize and edit UML elements properties.

To see the properties of a UML element, just select the UML element in the Model Explorer (see "Navigation and Selection" in "Model Explorer" section) or in the Class Diagram editor (see "Layout" and "Compartments Navigation and Selection" in "Class Diagram Editor" section), and the Properties panel will update its content to the selected UML element properties.

For example, see below properties that would be shown for com.intellij.openapi.components.ApplicationComponent:
