Inspector popovers can also be detached by clicking and dragging on their background to “tear” them off the inspector bar and turn them into free floating windows. Sometimes popovers are more convenient than the inspector shelf, especially for small laptop screens, because they only take up room temporarily. In many cases, those buttons will reveal popovers that appear so you can make property changes, then dismiss the popover when you’re done.
