The Web Part editor displays. Its contents depend on the type of Web Part in use. The figure shows the Web Part editor ​for the Shared Documents library of a team site. Some Web Parts allow you to open their editor when the page is in edit mode by displaying a link. Others, like the Chart Web Part are very sophisticated and provide wizards for advanced configuration.
 
The Web Part editor is divided by categories of configurable properties. A few of these categories are available on almost every Web Part. The one you will use most commonly is Appearance

The Appearance section allows you to control the size of a Web Part, but the most common scenario is to control the appearance if the Web Part's ​Chrome. The options that control the appearance of the chrome are:

  • Title
  • Chrome State
  • Chrome Type

The default Chrome Type is Title Only. To change the Title:

  1. Enter a new Title into the Title field
  2. Click Apply to see your changes and keep editing or OK to finish editing and close the Web Part

The Web Part now shows the updated Title.
