Not all Controls are able to send Commands or react to Triggers. Therefore the available Devices in the Command and Trigger window are displayed or hidden. On the Stage, Controls can also be aligned, blocked or added to the Library via the Context Menu. For Buttons there is also the Trigger Recording available.
The size and position of all Controls can be adjusted individually or in groups. Some Controls also have settings for colour and font type. If different types of Controls are marked together, only properties that they have in common are displayed in the properties field. Font size settings can be pre-set in the Project Settings. A Control can have different conditions. Here is an overview:

UNIVERSE Listen |
