The Properties panel has the additional contextual controls the public
Properties panel overview lists
(https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/desktop/get-started/learn-the-basics/properties-panel-overview.html),
each running the existing command:
- Quick Actions: Blend Options for one selected blend while the Blend
tool is in use (the Blend Options dialog; OK is one undo step), and
Merge Live Paint when a Live Paint group is selected with more objects
(livePaint.merge).
- Appearance: 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}); beside fx, with one effect on the one selected
object (its own, or a fill's or stroke's), its name and a Delete icon
that removes it (effect.remove); with several, the icon opens the
Appearance panel, as the overview describes.
- With Direct Selection and corners of one path selected, Corner and
Corner Radius set those corners' kind and radius
(object.setLiveShape); a live rectangle's and polygon's own rows
already do, so they get no second row.
The overview's Variable Font icon was already in Character. Every label
is already in every catalog.

step). Documented in docs/target-app-parity.md, docs/ui-parity.md and
