Design View for XML documents

[MikeM]

Hello,

it seems that currently the design mode is only available for xsl documents, not for xml documents. It would be nice to have this "tree view" feature for xml documents, too.

Or is it somewhere else?

Thanks,
Mike

Hello,

The Design mode (it should actually be called Schema Design mode) is only available for XML schemas(XSD) because it is schema centric and aims to present the schema model rather than a tree representation of the schema.

If you want a tree view for XML documents in Oxygen there are two options:
- switch the editor to Grid mode (Document > Edit Mode > Grid). By default the Grid mode uses a compressed layout but you can switch it to Tree mode if you want (Document > Grid Layout > Tree mode or toolbar button).
- use the Tree Editor (main menu > Tools > Tree Editor)

Regards,
Adrian

Thank you. Now I see the difference. Grid mode and Tree mode look similar at first sight, and the tree is different from the tree in Schema Design mode.
