# [[Obsidian Properties view plugin]]
![[Obsidian Properties view plugin.svg]]
The Properties view plugin is a [[Core plugins|core plugin]] for [[obsidian-playbook/Using Obsidian/01 First steps with Obsidian/Obsidian|Obsidian]] that allows you to view [[Properties in Obsidian|properties]] in the sidepane independently from the note.
## View file properties
The command `Properties view: Show file properties` displays only the properties for the file that's opened:
![[obsidian-properties-view-file.png]]
## View all properties
There's also a new command `Properties view: Show all properties` that also opens up a panel in the sidepane but this time shows *all* used properties across all notes in the vault, along with numbers to show how many notes use those properties.

## Display options for properties in note
If you want to make it so that you *only* see properties in the properties view, you can go to Settings > Editor and Under Display, there is a line called *Properties in document* with three options in the dropdown menu:
- Visible
- Hidden
- Source
Selecting Visible keeps the properties displayed at the top of the note.
Selecting Hidden hides the properties from being displayed at the top of the note, but doesn't delete them.
Selecting Source displays the properties in their raw format (as [[YAML Frontmatter]]).
