Rename

Renames the item, and updates all references to the item.

Can only be performed on root elements, attributes, groups, attributeGroups, complexTypes and simpleTypes.

The side effects of the action are displayed before any action is taken.

This action can be difficult to undo as it updates the references in all the loaded schema files, so in order to undo the action you must perform the undo in each changed schema.

Convert To Global Type

Causes a root simpleType or complexType to be created from the selected item. The selected item is then changed to become a reference to the new type.

Can only be performed on Attributes with restricted simpleTypes, Elements with restricted simpleTypes, Elements with restricted extended or restricted complexTypes.

Convert To Global Element

Causes the selected element to be moved to the root (i.e. a child of the schema), and replaced with a reference to the new root element.

Convert To Global Attribute

Causes the selected attribute to be moved to the root (i.e. a child of the schema), and replaced with a reference to the new root attribute.
