Working with the Properties panel
When starting Illustrator for the first time and opening a document, you’ll see the Properties
panel on the right side of the workspace. The Properties panel displays properties for the active
document when nothing is selected and displays appearance properties for content you select. It
puts all of the most commonly used options in one place, and it’s a panel you will be using quite
a bit.
