I guess what the authors suggest is to just write into the [REPL](https://docs.julialang.org/en/v1/stdlib/REPL/#Help-mode) `? Axis`

When you create a figure essentially you instantiate a [`Scene`](https://makie.juliaplots.org/v0.15.2/documentation/scenes/) and the `resolution` is then an attribute inside the `Scene` struct. You can access it with `fig.scene.camera.resolution`, but I don’t _think_ that you can change it and simply expect it to automatically update.  
It never occurred to me to have to manually change the scene attributes after initialization and still I never got to use the `Figure.attributes`.  
Most of the user functionality regarding `attributes` in Makie is interacting with the `ax` and `plt`.  
For `Axis` there are also several functions defined to do this like [for example](https://makie.juliaplots.org/v0.15/examples/layoutables/axis/#setting_axis_limits_and_reversing_axes).

Have a look also [here](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/no-docs-for-figure-attributes-in-makie/66683) for more info in `Figure.attributes`.

But for more specifics, it all comes down to what exactly you wish to do.
