# Managing Perspectives in the Log Inspector

A perspective is a predefined layout of panels in the Log Inspector.

When you perform a task in the Log Inspector, make sure you choose the right perspective for the job.

To manage your perspectives, click **Debug** | **Perspective Manager**.

- To switch to a different perspective, double-click the perspective name, or select it and click **Open**.
- To change the default perspective, select the perspective name and click **Set Default**.
- To delete a perspective, select the perspective name and click **Delete**.
- To create a custom perspective, see [Creating Custom Perspectives in the Log Inspector](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=platform.code_dev_console_perspectives_creating.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5 "Every developer has a different style. You can use one of our out-of-the box perspectives, create a custom perspective, or modify an existing perspective.").

The following perspectives are predefined:

- **All** (default)
    
    ![Developer Console Log Inspector All perspective](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-platform-extend_code-264-0-0-production-enus/789bc523-706b-4ae4-8fe9-be6322e38b6b/extend_code/images/code_dev_console_system_log_perspective_all.png)
- **Debug**: A perspective designed for code debugging that includes the Execution Log, Source and Variables panels.
    
    ![Developer Console Log Inspector Debug perspective](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-platform-extend_code-264-0-0-production-enus/789bc523-706b-4ae4-8fe9-be6322e38b6b/extend_code/images/code_dev_console_system_log_perspective_debug.png)
- **Log Only**: An all-purpose perspective for viewing log execution that includes the Execution Log panel only.
    
    ![Developer Console Log Inspector Log Only perspective](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-platform-extend_code-264-0-0-production-enus/789bc523-706b-4ae4-8fe9-be6322e38b6b/extend_code/images/code_dev_console_system_log_perspective_log_only.png)
- **Analysis**: A perspective designed for log analysis that includes the Stack Tree, Execution Stack, Execution Log, and Execution Overview panels.
    
    ![Developer Console Log Inspector Analysis perspective](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-platform-extend_code-264-0-0-production-enus/789bc523-706b-4ae4-8fe9-be6322e38b6b/extend_code/images/code_dev_console_system_log_perspective_analysis.png)

Use a perspective that makes completing your task fast and easy. Every developer has a different style; if one of the predefined perspectives doesn’t meet your needs, it’s easy to design your own.
