There are a few different places to access the net label tool.
Once in the tool, you simply click in the schematic to designate one corner and click somewhere else to define the other corner. Then double click or open the properties panel to edit the name. As with other tools, you can also hit |

A parameter set in Altium can be placed from a few different menus, including the schematic toolbar, right clicking in schematic, or the window toolbar

Once selected, the parameter set can be placed on any wire, pin, or net label. It can then be assigned properties to actually apply to the net that it is touching (double clicking will open properties).{image of some properties added}
...
The following section explains a few of the options. Additionally, you can enter a display name for the parameter set and choose what properties to show on schematic.
Pairing with parameter sets are also blankets. These allow for coverage of multiple nets at once with only one parameter directive. The tool is located next to the parameter set tool .
{image showing how to get blankets}
in all the same contexts (via toolbars, right click, etc).
A blanket is placed by clicking once to start and a second time to set the opposite corner. Any net or component touching the blanket will have the attributes applied to it. {image showing blanket used with a param set}Attributes are assigned to a blanket by adding a parameter set that is touching the boundary.

The differential pair marker can be found in a few different menus, including the schematic toolbar and just right clicking anywhere in schematic.{images of these two methods} A marker must be placed on each of the two nets that make up the differential pair. Additionally, each net must have a net label of the same name, one ending in “_N” and the other in “_P”, indicating “negative” and “positive”. This is usually an arbitrary distinction, but depends on your circuit {image showing implemented differential pair} Once created in schematic, the exact impedance requirement is set using design The above image utilizes the “_P” and “_N” suffixes to establish they are the paired nets. See the below {X} section to learn more about the bus used on the right. Once created in schematic, the exact impedance requirement is set using design rules. This can be set by using the design rules label mentioned in the above section or by adding it directly to the DIFFPAIR directive.
