Overview of the interface

Let's start by looking at the dock's main parts.

At the top are the file and navigation buttons.

Below it, you can find the selected node's name, its type, and the tools menu on the right side.

If you click the tool menu icon, a drop-down menu offers some view and edit options.

Then comes the search bar. Type anything in it to filter displayed properties. Delete the text to clear the search.
