1. **Select an element**

   * **Select from preview** (cursor icon) and then click the element,
   * or use **Select from layers** (stack icon) to choose an element from the layer tree.

   *If nothing is selected, the panel will show “Select an element to edit its properties.”*
2. **Edit properties**\
   Once an element is selected, the Design panel updates to show the options available for that element (for example: Content, Layout, Typography, Background, Border, etc.). Adjust these settings to update the selected element’s design.

> **Breakpoints:**\
> The Design panel is breakpoint-aware. Any changes you make only apply to the breakpoint you’re currently editing (desktop or mobile). Switch between breakpoints to customize the design for each layout.
