Inspector

The Inspector panel, found on the right side of Cycle, uses a tabbed interface to show the Step Assistant (when editing a Feature), Settings and Output.

Step Assistant tab

The Step Assistant tab is designed to give additional information about the use case, parameters, and syntax of the highlighted step. In the example below, the Step Assistant is showing information about the Step: I assign "<VALUE>" to variable "<VARIABLE_NAME>".
