Opening Project Browser

The Project Browser incorporates several ‘views’ of the project, such as the DiagramsModel StructureFilesMy Recent and Team Recent. These views provide different ways for realizing a project’s model hierarchy as well as to find out the desired diagrams. The Project Browser supports view-based finding and project-level searching, which makes searching of project data much easier.

You can open the Project Browser by clicking on Open Project Browser on the right hand side of the navigation bar. Click here if you want to know more about the Project Browser.
