What is the function of the "Properties" panel in Dreamweaver?

The function of the "Properties" panel in Dreamweaver is to modify attributes of selected elements. This panel serves as a contextual toolbox that provides easy access to the properties and settings of whatever element you have selected on your web page. For instance, when you select a text element, the Properties panel allows you to change fonts, sizes, colors, and other style attributes. For images, it enables adjustments like alt text and dimensions. This panel streamlines the design process by allowing users to instantly see and modify attributes without diving deep into code or other menus.

The other options represent functions not performed by the Properties panel. Uploading files to servers is typically done through the site management section or FTP setup. Importing data from external sources would involve other features or panels related to databases or data management. Creating new web pages is primarily handled through the file and document management features within Dreamweaver, rather than through the Properties panel.
