Viewing DSM data

In the left-hand layers panel of Inspect, DSM items are denoted by purple icons.

Select a layer from the layers panel, or select a layer on the artboard directly. The right-hand informational panel will then display a DSM section with the relevant data. Click any of the data points to view the DSM documentation site.

Switching design systems

If an item is found in multiple DSM design systems, Inspect allows you to view data from each

In the DSM section of the right-hand information panel, next to the design system name, click the drop-down and select the appropriate system. The displayed information will change to reflect the chosen design system.
