 - **Names of new and renamed artboards, brushes and patterns:** `artboard.new` and `artboard.setProps` trim the white space around the name they are given, as the Artboards panel's rename does, and a blank name gives the artboard its default name, Artboard N for the Nth artboard. `brush.new`, `brush.duplicate`, `brush.options`, `object.pattern.make`, `object.pattern.saveCopy` and `pattern.options` trim the name as the Brush Options dialog and the Pattern Options panel do, and compare the trimmed name with the names there are; a blank name gives the name each command gives when there is none, and Brush Options and Pattern Options keep the name. Tests in `tests/panelcmds.rs`, `tests/brushsym.rs` and `tests/pattern.rs` cover each command. Public references: [Using multiple artboards](https://web.archive.org/web/20210925094818/https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/using/using-multiple-artboards.html), [Brushes](https://web.archive.org/web/20251018101754/https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/using/brushes.html) and [Create and edit patterns](https://web.archive.org/web/20211031180358/https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/using/create-edit-patterns.html) (archived copies).
 - **Pattern names and swatch names:** `pattern.options` refuses a new name that another pattern, a swatch or a color group has. It takes a name that only the pattern's own swatches have. The reference page does not say what happens when the new name is taken; the refusal follows VectorCraft's rule that swatches and color groups share one namespace (`Document::swatch_name_taken`), which `swatch.new` and `swatch.edit` also follow. A rename gives the new name only to the pattern's swatches that had the old one; any other swatch with the old name keeps it, and art linked to that swatch stays linked. `object.pattern.make` and `object.pattern.saveCopy` number a color group's name as they number a swatch's. Tests in `tests/pattern.rs` cover each command. Public reference: [Create and edit patterns](https://web.archive.org/web/20211031180358/https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/using/create-edit-patterns.html) (archived copy).
 - **A clip group in Properties:** with one clip group selected, the panel has Edit Clipping Path and Edit Contents at its top, under the Clip Group heading, which select the clipping path or the clipped art for the selection tools to transform alone, as Object › Clipping Mask does (<https://www.adobe.com/learn/illustrator/web/crop-using-masks>: with a clip group selected, the tutorial uses Edit Clipping Path at the top of the Properties panel to select the mask for editing, and uses Edit Contents to select the masked art). Edit Contents shows only when the group clips something. Not checked against the reference app: whether Properties keeps the buttons while the clipping path or the contents is selected; the Control bar has no clip-group buttons here. Evidence: `panels::properties::tests::one_clip_group_has_edit_clipping_path_and_edit_contents_at_the_top`.
-- **Contextual controls in Properties:** the [Properties panel overview](https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/desktop/get-started/learn-the-basics/properties-panel-overview.html) lists controls that appear for particular selections and tools; Properties has them, each running the existing command. Quick Actions has Blend Options for one selected blend while the Blend tool is in use (the Blend Options dialog, OK one undo step) and Merge Live Paint when a Live Paint group is selected with more paths and nothing Live Paint refuses (`livePaint.merge`). Appearance has the stroke's Variable Width Profile list, the Control bar's, with the Width tool or when the stroke has a variable width (`stroke.set {profile}`), and beside fx the Delete icon: with one effect on the one selected object (its own or a fill's or stroke's) its name and an icon that removes it (`effect.remove`), with several an icon that opens the Appearance panel, as the overview describes. With Direct Selection and corners of one path selected, Corner and Corner Radius set the kind and radius of those corners (`object.setLiveShape`); a live rectangle's and polygon's own rows already do. Each edit is one undo step. The overview's Variable Font icon was already in Character. Not checked against the reference app: whether Merge needs two Live Paint groups (the overview speaks of several selected groups; `livePaint.merge` takes a group and paths), and where exactly each control sits in its section. Evidence: `panels::properties::tests::{blend_options_is_a_quick_action_for_one_blend_with_the_blend_tool, merge_live_paint_is_a_quick_action_for_a_live_paint_group_and_more, the_width_profile_shows_for_a_variable_width_or_the_width_tool, direct_selected_corners_show_their_kind_and_radius, one_effect_has_a_delete_icon_in_appearance}`.

Appearance has the stroke's Variable Width Profile list, the Control bar's, with the Width tool or when the stroke has a variable width (`stroke.set {profile}`), and beside fx the Delete icon: with one effect on the one selected object (its own or a fill's or stroke's) its name and an icon that removes it (`effect.remove`), with several an icon that opens the Appearance panel, as the overview describes.

 - **Edit Artboards in Properties:** the active artboard's name is a field. Typing a new name and pressing Enter or clicking elsewhere renames that artboard in one undo step, as the Artboards panel's rename does (`artboard.setProps {index, name}`); pressing Escape or leaving the field empty keeps the old name. A click on the Artboard Options icon beside the field opens Artboard Options for the active artboard, as double-clicking the Artboard tool's button does (`tool.options {tool: "artboard"}`). Pointer and key tests in `panels/properties.rs` cover both. Public references: [Resize artboards](https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/desktop/create-manage-artboards/add-edit-artboards/resize-artboards.html) and [Create and add new artboards](https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/desktop/create-manage-artboards/add-edit-artboards/add-new-artboards.html).
 - **Artboard background colors:** each artboard can have a background color (`artboard.setProps {index, color}`, `color: null` removes it). With the Artboard tool, Properties has a Fill row: its list sets None, White or Black, and its chip and its Color Picker… item open the Color Picker for the artboard. Artboard Options has a Background Color row with a list that sets None, White or Black, and a color button. The canvas draws the artboard's paper in the color, multiplied with the paper color while Simulate Colored Paper is on, and the transparency grid still covers it. The native format saves the color, and a document without colors saves as before. Exports and print do not draw the color. Engine, canvas, Properties, Color Picker and Artboard Options tests cover it. Public reference: [Apply colors to artboards](https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/desktop/create-manage-artboards/organize-manage-artboards/add-background-color-to-artboards.html).
 - **Resizing several artboards:** with several artboards selected with the Artboard tool, a new W or H in Properties, the Transform panel or the Control bar, a preset or an orientation in Properties or the Control bar, and a new Width or Height in Artboard Options resize every selected artboard in one undo step (`artboard.setProps {artboards}`); with Scale Artwork with Artboard on, Properties, the Transform panel and the Control bar scale each object once, with the artboard it was inside before the change. The Transform panel, the Control bar and Artboard Options resize each one about its own reference point, a preset sizes each one in its own orientation, and X and Y still move the active artboard alone. Pointer and key tests in `panels/properties.rs`, dialog tests in `dialogs/tests.rs` and an engine test in `tests/xform.rs` cover them. Public references: [Artboard Enhancements In Illustrator CC](https://blog.adobe.com/en/publish/2017/11/10/artboard-enhancements-in-illustrator-cc) (a height and a width entered once resize every selected artboard) and [Using multiple artboards](https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/using/using-multiple-artboards.html) (2019).
