Learn how Polypane improves your workflow
Developer tools
Polypane comes with two sets of developers tools: the native Polypane developer tools and the Chromium developer tools.
Polypane developer tools
The Polypane developer tools will work across panes and you can find more information about them on the following pages:
- Polypane elements panel, lets you edit style, content and attributes in all panes at the same time.
- Polypane Console lets you view console messages from all panes and send console commands to all panes at the same time.
- Polypane Network panel lets you see and inspect network requests from all panes
- Polypane Storage panel lets you inspect and edit local storage, session storage, and cookies across all panes.
Chromium developer tools
The Chromium developer tools only support a single pane at a time, but support devtools extensions.
Picking devtools
By default. Polypane will use the Polypane developer tools when using the shortcuts, right-clicking to inspect or when using Polypane Peek. You can switch to using the Chromium devtools by right-clicking the inspect icon in the address bar and selecting "inspect in devtools". From now on, the Chromium devtools will be used instead.
When "Inspect Element (in devtools)" is set as the default, shortcuts and Polypane Peek will use the Chromium devtools and the first option in the context menu will also use the Chromium devtools.
