Display folio properties
========================

The `folio properties`_ can be common at all `folios`_ from the same `project`_. 
QElectroTech also allows that each `folio`_ has its own properties. For example, 
two `folios`_ can be created by different authors or they can have different revision 
item.  

.. note::

   To reduce the creation time, QElectroTech allows creating some pre-setting for all future 
   `folios`_ that will be created at the `project`_. For more information about how to pre-define 
   `folio properties`_, refer to `project properties`_ section.

The folio properties window can be displayed from `menu bar`_, `workspace`_, `toolbar`_,
`projects panel`_, `folios tabs bar`_ and using the corresponding keyboard shortcut.
