- Color and fill: stroke color, fill color, and fill pattern.
- Stroke: width and style (solid, dashed, dotted).
- Drawing style: Clean, Sketch, or Scribble.
- Corner and arrow shape: round the corners; arrowhead shapes on arrows.

- Layout: group / ungroup, bring to front / send to back (layer order), align; plus duplicate and delete.
Which controls appear depends on the selected item type (for example, font and size for text; arrowheads for arrows; only opacity and layer for images). The controls for each item type are described in detail on the relevant tool page.
