| Open Files |
 |
Each of the upper tabs represents an open file.
The 'x' on the right hand side will close the schema (and all child schemas), prompting you to save any unsaved changes.
The arrows allow you to scroll through the tabs when there are too many open to be displayed.
|
| Some schema files (XSD's) can include/import one or more other schemas, if so then these are shown as child tabs. |
 |
| The child tabs are displayed below the main file tabs and show the main schema, and all the child schemas that constitute the description for the whole schema. |

Graphical XSD View
Your XSD schema is displayed in 2 forms a graphical view and a code view. The graphical view allows you to do most of the common editing tasks, adding entities (elements, attributes, complexTypes etc). Moving items via cut and paste and drag and drop. Edit the common properties in place.
|
When items are referenced they are shown in place inside their own box, so it is easy to understand the meaning of the schema without searching though the schema for the definitions of each item.
The Code view is kept up to date as the diagram changes. |

XSD Code View
Your XSD schema is displayed in 2 forms a graphical view and a code view. The code view allows you to edit the XSD schema directly. |
The editor incorporates
- Syntax Highlighting
- Intellisense
- Auto Indent
- Error Highlighting
|
 |
| Once editing is complete, the graphical view is re-synced with the code view |

Documentation Window
|
The documentation window can be used to add annotations to any item within the schema. Annotations are human readable comments that do not effect the meaning of the schema, but can be included in generated documentation etc.
|
 |
The comments typed into the documentation window are then form part of the XSD.

Properties Window
A Context Sensitive Properties Window, that shows all the properties applicable for the selected item (in the Graphical XSD View) in its current state. As the state of the selected item changes new properties are displayed or removed, i.e. the facet length is applicable to types based on xs:string but not to types based on xs:int.
A description of the property is also shown in the box at the bottom of the window, and are described fully within the documentation.

Double clicking on an item in the locator window takes you to the definition for the item in the graphical and code XSD views.
