Navigating between XML elements located in various parts of the currently edited document is easy due to several powerful features.
XML documents are organized as a tree of elements. When working on a large document you can collapse some elements leaving in the focus only the ones you need to edit. Expanding and collapsing works on individual elements: expanding an element leaves the child elements unchanged.
