Thank you for the feedback @scrozier! It's really helpful to hear which other controls users would like to see added to the Properties panel. Our initial release likely won't include all of the controls you mentioned, but we'll continue adding new functionality to the panel over time so it's helpful to know what you'd like next! Regarding the redundancy of the text panels, our hope is that you'll be able to remove the old panels from your workspace, and that the Properties panel will give you those controls when you need them.

Thanks for the feedback @Shebbe! To add to Catie's response:
- While we're not removing the Character/Paragraph panels from the app at this time, you can safely remove them from your workspace because all of their controls (and more) are available in the Properties panel. We're interested in getting feedback about whether or not users still need the Char/Para panels for anything--if we can safely remove them from the default workspaces, we'd love to do that to free up space.
- Regarding Faux Bold/Italic -- In user testing, we had been hearing a lot of negative reactions to the Faux style buttons in the Character panel, with many users feeling like they're a "trap" that tricks people into thinking they're switching to the font's real Bold or Italic typeface, when really they're getting an artificially thickened/slanted version. By making the Faux styles less prominent, the thinking was that it will guide users towards the best practice of selecting a real font style from the dropdown menu. For users who want them, the Faux styles are still available from the Properties panel by clicking the hamburger menu in the Text section. What do you all think, though? Do you miss having dedicated buttons for the Faux styles? If people need them, we can consider adding them.
