The Edit properties action, available both on the toolbar and on the
contextual menu, is used to edit the properties of the selected node. Depending on the
selected node, the action will perform the following tasks:
- If a topicref or chapter element is selected, the action
opens a dialog box that is similar to the Insert Topic Reference dialog box, allowing you to edit
some of the important attributes.
- If a topichead element is selected, the action opens a dialog box that is
similar to the Insert Topic
Heading dialog box, allowing you to edit some of the important
attributes.
- If a topicgroup element is selected, the action opens a dialog box that
is similar to the Insert Topic
Group dialog box, allowing you to edit some of the important
attributes.
- If the root element of the map is selected, you can easily edit the map title by using the
Edit Map title dialog box. Using this dialog box, you can also
specify if the title is specified as the title attribute for the map, as a
title element (for DITA-OT 1.1 and 1.2), or specified in both locations.
