</h1>
<p>
Inspecting shows the result of evaluating an expression in the Expressions view.

In the scrapbook page, either type an expression or highlight an existing expression to be inspected. For example: <code>System.getProperties();</code>
</li>
<li>
Click the <strong>Inspect</strong> button in the toolbar (or select <strong>Inspect</strong> from the selection's pop-up
menu).
</li>
<li> The result of the inspection appears in a pop-up.&nbsp; </li>
<li>
The result can be inspected like a variable in the debugger (for
example, children of the result can be expanded).
</li>
</ol>
