The Properties panel shows controls that match the selected markup type. It is the most detailed place to adjust appearance and metadata.

Available fields change for text, shapes, measurements, lines, highlights, and other markup types.

Edit a selected markup

  1. 1

    Select the markup

    Click the object on the drawing or choose it in the Markup List.

  2. 2

    Open Properties

    Click Properties in the sidebar rail.

  3. 3

    Change fields

    Edit general fields, appearance, fill, line, font, layout, and measurement options shown for that markup.

Know why fields change

Text exposes font controls, shapes expose fill controls, lines expose caps, and measurement markups expose measurement-related fields. Missing controls usually mean the selected markup type does not support that property.
