This article refers to the image linked under Components
The property grid shows all properties of the selected template and allows you to edit them.
To edit a property, click the value column of the property (the rightmost cell). Property editors can have text inputs, numerical inputs, toggles, dropdowns or custom editors. If a property has a custom editor, a button will show up on the right side of the value column ([..]). Click this to open up the custom editor.
When showing multiple selected templates, the value field will be empty if not all templates have the same value for this property.
Properties with a green background (see image) are local template properties that differ from their root template. To reset a property back to its original value, right click the property and click "Reset".
Description
