### Project inspector

The project inspector is used to

- select the project configuration.
- open sources in an new editor.
- add or remove source if the active project has the [CE format](features_projects).

The toolbar buttons are only activated for CE projects.

Note that instead of using the dialogs to add files, it's also possible to drop items from a file explorer.
