All

In this menu, you will see all available properties related to the image in list format. Here you can view each property modified and the value that the property is set to. Here is where you will be able to make modifications to your dynamic image configurations. As you can see in Figure 3 the Source of the image has a dynamic value and we can modify this by selecting Edit. You can learn more about these option in Working With Dynamic Images. In addition, you can also add additional properties as you see fit.
