I am new to Lucid and I have opened a diagram shared by someone.
I would like to know what element or shape was used when I click on it in the diagram. How do I know this?
I am expecting a properties view to display showing the element’s properties including its type, or somethin to this effect.

Hi @Tony2024, thanks for posting in the Lucid Community! In the Shape Libraries panel to the left of the editor, there will be a section titled “Shapes in Use,” which shows all shapes and objects currently on the document. Additionally, when you have a shape selected, you can open the contextual panel to the right of the editor, where you can update the shape to another shape in its same library, to help you determine what library the shape you’re looking for lives in. (see image below)

Please let me know if you have any further questions!
