## Open the Info panel

1. Open an item in focus mode (see [Focus on one item or board](https://www.pactto.com/help/focus-mode.md)), or present a board.
2. Click **Info** at the top left, next to **Exit focus mode**, or press **I**.
3. The Info panel opens on the left side of the screen. On a phone it slides up from the bottom.

To close it, click the **X** next to the **Info** title, press **I** again, or press **Escape**. Pressing **Escape** with the panel open closes only the panel; press it again to leave focus mode.

Who can open it: everyone in the room. Every item you can focus has an Info panel, except a screen share.

## What the panel shows

The first row is the item's name. The rest depends on the kind of item.

The **File** section (**Link** for a website) lists details such as:

- Images: **Format**, **Dimensions**, **Aspect ratio** and **File size**.
- Videos: **Format**, **Resolution**, **Aspect ratio**, **Frame rate** and **File size**.
- Audio files: **Format**, **Sample rate**, **Channels**, **Bit depth** (lossless files such as WAV and AIFF) and **File size**.
- PDFs: **Format**, **Pages** and **File size**.
- Websites: **URL**, **Domain**, **Page type** and **Last fetched**.

Files also show **Last edited**, **Uploaded by** (or **Generated by** for an image made with AI) with the person's photo or initials, and **Date created**. Docs, tables and boards show **Name**, **Created by** and **Date created** without a File section. A detail Pactto does not know shows a dash.

To copy the **Dimensions** of an image or the **URL** of a website, click the value. It reads **Copied** for a moment.

An image made with AI also has a **Generation** section with the **Prompt**, **Model** and **Generated** date. Click **Copy prompt** to copy the prompt, and **Show more** to read a long one.

Click a section's title to collapse or expand it.

## Rename the item

1. Click the name in the first row.
2. Type the new name and press **Enter**, or click elsewhere. Press **Escape** to cancel.

You need **Can edit** access or to be the room owner. An empty name is not saved, and a name cannot contain a link. A renamed file gets the new name everywhere it appears in the room.

## Add a description

The **About** section holds a short description of a file or website that everyone in the room sees.

1. Click **Add a description...** in the **About** section.
2. Type up to 2,000 characters.
3. Click outside the field to save. Press **Escape** to discard your changes.

You need **Can edit** access or to be the room owner. Others see the description read-only. Docs, tables and boards have no description.

## If something goes wrong

- "Could not save the description. Try again.": the description did not save. Your text stays in the field, and Pactto tries again the next time you click outside it.
- "You don't have permission to edit this description.": your access changed. Ask the room owner for **Can edit** access.
- "Names can't contain links.": remove the web address from the name.

## Good to know

- When the panel would cover the item, Pactto moves the item to the side so it stays visible. This only changes your screen.
- A video's frame rate can take a few seconds to appear after an upload.
