A correct conversion depends on having annotations properly applied to content elements. This requires rule conditions to be accurately specified. The rules editor allow you to see which rules have applied to content elements.

## Procedure

1. From the**content panel**, select the content element that you are interested in.

## Result

The **Element Properties** tab is automatically put into view and is updated to correspond with the content element you have selected.

The **Annotations** section lists the annotations which have applied to the selected content element.

The **Applied Rules** section lists the rules which have applied to the selected content element.
