Use the Properties Window in Management Studio

Applies to: SQL Server Azure SQL Database Azure SQL Managed Instance Azure Synapse Analytics Analytics Platform System (PDW)

The Properties window describes the state of an item in SQL Server Management Studio, such as a connection or a Showplan operator, and information about database objects such as tables, views, and designers.

You can use the Properties window to view the properties of the current connection. Many properties are read-only in the Properties window but can be changed elsewhere in the Management Studio. For example, the Database property of a query is read-only in the Properties window, but can be changed on the tool bar.
