Inspecting the data

Click on the blue i button in the attributes toolbar and then click on the layer in the map. This will display the feature attributes in a new panel, which will dock by default. Like all panels, you can move them around and resize as needed. Your QGIS project should look similar to the following diagram:

The new panel is called identify results. In this case, attributes include a Category, a Name, and an Area value. Later in this chapter, we will look at creating and editing data, as well as adding attributes.
