Tool Options pane (right side)

The floating panel next to the canvas. Its contents switch based on the active tool + the currently-selected layer. Empty until you pick a tool or a layer.

Two modes of content

The pane swaps between two kinds of content depending on what's active:

Tool options — when no layer is selected, shows the active tool's drawing parameters (fill / stroke / size / kind etc). These apply to the next layer you draw.
Layer options — when a layer IS selected, shows that layer's properties (x / y / w / h / rotation / opacity / fit / clip / fill / type-specific fields). Edits apply live.

You can have both modes briefly at once if you draw a new layer while a different layer is selected — the new layer's options take over the moment it lands.

Per-tool contents

The per-tool docs cover the specific controls each tool surfaces:

Pen tool — Fill toggle + colour, Stroke colour + width, mid-draw Finish / Cancel, path actions block (Pointed corner / Curved smooth / Delete anchor / Average / Join endpoints / Close path / Reverse direction).
Pencil tool — Stroke colour + width.
Shape tool — Kind picker (rect / rounded rect / circle / ellipse / triangle / polygon / star / line), Fill toggle + colour, Stroke colour + width.
Text tool — Font / Colour / Point size / Alignment + Bold / Italic toggles.
Direct Selection — Hint + the Path Actions block when anchors are selected.
Eyedropper — no panel; uses the active swatch.
Select / Hand — no panel of their own; they show the selected layer's options.

Per-layer contents

When a layer is selected, the pane shows that layer's edit controls. See the Layers panel page for the full layer-options field list — the floating pane is the live edit surface for those fields.

Tips

The pane is intentionally floating + slim so it stays out of the way on small viewports. On wider viewports it docks against the right side of the canvas.
If you can't find a field you expect to see, check: (a) is the right tool active? (b) is a layer of the right type selected?
Hiding the layers panel (sidebar collapse) does not hide the Tool Options pane.
