File Tree View

After opening a folder, the file tree view shows the workspace file and folder structure:

- Context Menu: Right-click files or folders for rename, delete, and other operations
Outline View

The outline view automatically extracts the heading structure (H1–H6) of the current document and displays it as a tree:
- Quick Jump: Click a heading in the outline to scroll the editor to that position
- Current Position Highlight: The heading at the current cursor position is highlighted in the outline
- Collapse/Expand: Click arrows before headings to collapse or expand sub-headings
- Batch Operations: Expand all / Collapse all headings
- Heading Numbers: Option to show heading numbers
Tip
The outline view is especially useful for browsing and navigating long documents, helping you quickly locate the section you need to edit.
