==================
Open the Inspector
==================

There are two main ways to open the Inspector:

- Choose *Tools > Web Developer > Inspector* from the Menu Bar or the equivalent :ref:`keyboard shortcut <keyboard-shortcuts-opening-and-closing-tools>`.
- Right-click an element on a web page and select *Inspect Element*.


The Inspector will appear at the bottom of the browser window:

You can also set the pane to appear at the left side of the browser window:

  :class: center

To the right side of the browser window:

  :class: center

Or in a separate window:
