Documentation Window

Using the documentation window you can add documentation to all your elements. Press CtrlM to open it and then use the 3 pulldowns on top to navigate:

  • Documents
  • Patches in the selected document
  • Operations in the selected patch

As long as the Attach checkbox is not activated navigating between the patchs in the editor lets the documentation window follow the active patch.
