[oXygen-user] Master files?

[Oxygen XML Editor Support (Octavian Nadolu)]

Hello David,

Unfortunately I cannot reproduce the problem you described. When I 
import a new file in the master file, this is validated automatically in 
the master file context.
I tested with Oxygen XML Editor 22.1, build 2020100710.

The master files graph is updated automatically when you save a file 
from the editing area. Therefore, when you add the "xsl:import" 
instruction in the master file, the module should be added in the graph 
and validated correctly.
If a module is not detected correctly, you can also try to refresh the 
Master Files folder from the Project view. For this you can use the 
"Refresh" action from the Project view contextual menu.

Best Regards,
Octavian
