Object properties define an object. You can view and change these properties in the Property Browser.
Select the page or object whose properties you want to view or change.
Open the Property Browser.
In the Browser, select the property category, for example, 'Identification' properties.
Change the object's properties. Any changes you make apply immediately.

Each time you change a property, this is added to the Undo History, allowing you to undo each change you make. |
Some properties have numerical values, while other properties can be altered with different controls:
