For trackbacks, slugs, and other properties, look for the chevron to the right of the categories control and publish date. If you click that, the tray at the bottom will slide up and show additional options including trackbacks. It's always a tough dilemma figuring out how to make controls easy to discover without cluttering up the screen. We got consistent complaints in the previous version that the categories control was hard to find, we thought this would be an improvement but it sounds like our work may not be done yet.
