## How to use the inspector
Once you have the inspector enabled with `/core inspect` or `/co i`, you can do the following:
* Left-click a block to see who placed that block.
* Right-click a block to see what adjacent block was removed.
* Right-click while placing a block in a location to see what block was removed at that location.
* Right-click while placing a block in another block to see who placed it. For example, place dirt in water to see who placed the water.
* Right-click a door, button, lever, container, or similar block to see who last used it.
## A Few Reviews
* *"It's easy to use and lightning fast when it comes to rollbacks."*
* *"I've been running a MC server since before Bukkit, so I've used just about every block logger out there. CoreProtect is the best and the fastest."*
* *"Go with CoreProtect. It's fast, updated frequently, and logs WorldEdit."*
* *"Overall it felt more natural, simpler, and much faster to use CoreProtect than Prism, which just doesn't compare."*
* *"CoreProtect brings complex logging and rollbacks, whilst at the same time keeping a low profile."*
