UI Editor/Inspector
The Inspector Panel in the UI Editor is a tool for the inspection and modification of the window and components of the UI being edited. The properties for the component selected in the Hierarchy panel are displayed here.

Common Properties
All UI elements have some properties in common which are displayed topmost in the panel.
Visible
The topmost checkbox controls whether or not this element should be rendered.
Name
The canonical name for the element. This can be used as part of Find commands for components.
Style
An internal identifier (usually derived from the Name) which allows the .ui file to store properties in the side-by-side .style file
Template
The template (if any) the element was originally derived from.
RectTransform
Unity internally uses the RectTransform to control the width, height, anchors, and pivot of the UI element. Check the Unity Documentation for more info.
Styling
All elements support a set of styling properties for displaying shadow/outline on their features. Usually this is used for labels, but can be used on other kinds of UI elements as well.
Panel Layout
All components (not windows) support a set of layout properties for controlling how they appear when inside a panel with its Layout property enabled.
