Overview
Reference usage
Inspector groups the properties of one record as quiet rows, for a detail page. Each InspectorRow is a muted label in a fixed 140px column, the value in the default text colour, and a trailing affordance; an editable row becomes an editor when it is activated, and a read-only row draws no affordance, so the two never look the same. At desktop width the group is a right rail on one tinted surface with separators inset to the text. Below 700px each label stacks above its value and the group reads as a grouped list on the raised surface a GroupedList uses. Every row is at least 44px tall.
Usage
Right rail and phone layout
Put the inspector in a narrow column beside the page content for a right rail. Below 700px the label of each row stacks above its value and the group sits on the raised surface of a grouped list, so the same markup is the properties section of a phone page. Give it a header to name the group.

When to use
- Showing the properties of one record on a detail page as a right rail on a desktop and a grouped section on a phone.
- Letting a person change a property in place instead of through a stack of always-editable fields.
- Showing read-only facts with no editing at all — use description-list.
- Editing many fields at once and saving them together — use a form with form-field.
Examples
Editable and read-only rows
Each editable row shows a trailing affordance and becomes a text, select, date or toggle editor when activated; the read-only row has none.
